      <title>Legalize Hemp and Cannabis in California</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/d51a9e25-8f95-4b79-811a-96034f02be77</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi Family,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Right now there are two competing signature drives to put cannabis legalization initiatives on the ballot in California for November 2010.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One is found at www.taxcannabis2010.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The other is found at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please look carefully at the text of both laws (the text of each is finalized at this point) and make up your own mind which one you support.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am supporting www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org because this law will protect cannabis users from discrimination in healthcare, employment, and housing.  It is a full legalization measure for hemp and cannabis which will restore full human rights to cannabis users and growers all across California.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have two parts to my plan.  The first part is to publicly post and distribute our "Call to Arms" in order to recruit volunteers.  This document is available here-
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;www.imgur.com/dbU83
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The second part of the plan is to ask everyone who volunteers to make a pledge for how many signature they will collect in the next 30 days or so.  15-30 signatures is a good number.  You can probably get that number from your family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors without having to solicit in public too much.  This is an "out of the closet" movement.  We will have to proudly advocate human rights for cannabis smokers in order to get support from legitimate people.  I can supply stickers equivalent to each persons pledge number.  These stickers can be used to generate interest and be given to people who sign the petition.  Here is the sticker design-
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Feel free to distribute and use these images.  But don't copyright them because you are not the one who created them.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We have 145 days in order to get the number of signatures that we need.  Our petition is hot off the press on 9/11 and we are collecting the first signatures yesterday 9/12.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are polling 56% public support for cannabis legalization in California, so this is an initiative which is not doomed.  It's time has finally arrived.  Now is the time to do this and to do it right.  We may only get one chance.  If a law which is not exactly what we want is implemented then we may lose our critical mass and our ability to set it right.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you want to help me in any way please contact the CCI campaign at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org or write me at deep_space_underground@yahoo.com
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Love,
&lt;br/&gt;-Fully Committed&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Why didn't Obi-wan kill Vader when he had the chance?</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/7ec2e533-21d4-411f-922a-f4f27ad21abb</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;My confusion centres around why Obi-wan didn't kill Vader at the end of Episode III? I know that Jedis are supposed the seek diplomatic solutions and honor all life and bring criminals to trial but it seems to me against the Jedi code to leave Vader alive, suffering and all mangled up by the lava river.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Was he just so confused from all the fighting, etc.?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thoughts?
&lt;br/&gt;

      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/ca37fa92-4495-47d4-8c33-5e9fc4149da8</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Has there been any new news on the production of this? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I really hope to see more of Boba, Han and Greedo and how the three end up the way that they do. I understand that this is suppose to be dealing in more peripheral characters, but it seem a little absurd to think that Lucas will ignore all the main characters.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So does anyone know anything new about where they stand or what?   &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Jedi Redneck?</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/1d65c4e2-ae30-4023-9224-88a5cb51cc66</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;.......made me giggle........
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You Might Be a Redneck Jedi If:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Your Jedi robe is camouflage.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You have ever used the force in conjunction with fishing.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;At least one wing of your X-wing is primer colored.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You have bantha horns on the front of your landspeeder.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You describe the taste of an Ewok as "jus' like chicken."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You have ever had a B-wing up on blocks in your yard.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The worst part of spending time on planet Dagobah is "them dadgum skeeters."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Wookies are offended by your B.O.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You have ever used the force to get yourself another beer so you wouldn't have to wait for a commercial.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Your father has ever said to you, "Shoot, son, come on over to the dark side...it'll be a hoot!"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You have ever had your R-2 unit use its self-defense electro-shock thingy to get the barbecue grill to light.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You have a confederate flag painted on your flight helmet.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You ever fantasized about Princess Leia wearing Daisy Duke shorts.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You have the doors of your X-wing welded shut and you have to get in through the window.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You kinda think that Jabba the Hutt had a pretty good handle on how to treat his women.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You have a cousin who bears a strong resemblance to Chewbacca.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In your opinion, that Cee-Threepio fellow "just ain't right."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You suggested that they outfit the Millennium Falcon with a Lazy-Boy recliner.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The REAL reason you got into a fight in the cantina was because you ordered Bud Light...and they didn't have it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You knew Princess Leia was your sister all along.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Custom Saber Ideas</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/12e7ebb3-deb1-4a86-ac35-f07f81f14565</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hey all. Dante here. Unfortunately, it seems that Balance of Power is going to be halted until further notice, considering i've torn my ACL (Shouldnt be doing backflips on a bad knee.) and the fact that about three people dropped out of the production.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;However, with all this newfound interest in Star Wars and Jedi, i've become quite the avid duelist. And, naturally, i'd like a saber (or apparently a couple of them) to choose from so i may duel with friends, family, and maybe even start a fan film of my own. Multiple sabers would certainly help with fan films, as well as allowing friends to borrow them if they needed a duelling blade. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So i've been coming up with some designs, and i wanted a bit of feedback. I've come up with four designs...well, ok. three designs; four sabers in all. (dear god is this gonna empty my wallet quickly.) I would love to hear what you all think of the designs; what you like about them, where there could be improvement, and maybe a couple of names would help too, considering i'm blanking on blade names these days. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/shaelasche/Sabers-1.jpg
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The first two are my duel wielding sabers, but can also stand on their own, perhaps as master/padawan blades. The second design is much more sith-inspired. And the third is just to kinda round everything out, with a sort of sage-like consulor saber. Funny thing is, the last one was supposed to be a small, simple design, and ended up being the longest saber of the bunch, and will probably be one of the more difficult ones to build. But yeah, that's enough backstory, tell me what you think! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Discuss :P&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>SW: Balance of Power</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/dae3e171-05a9-4eb6-9c31-689d802a10bc</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hey all. Just wanted to bring this to your guys's attention. I'm a part of this Star Wars production (Live action, quasi-theatre/stunt group) called Balance of Power. So far there have been 2 episodes, and we are currently working on Episode 3. Again, this is a LIVE performance. No stops, no effects, no wires, no help of any kind. Just a buncha people with some swordfighting and acrobatic skills putting them to use. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Go ahead and rate the videos, tell your friends, and if you're in the California Bay Area, give me a message here, and you may be able to be part of this wonderful production. We're currently in production of Episode 3: A Force Undying. We could use all the help we can get. If you think you can help in any way (Finances, acting, costuming, venues, ect) then please contact me. But anyway, onward with the videos!!!

      <description>&lt;div&gt;ote #24 from pan prometheus to HALOS AND AURAS:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;We have had some very useful notes and observations on the subjects of
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;Halos and Auras.  I want to bring a focus to my own thinking on this
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;topic, one I have come fresh to.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;oh good, i was wondering whod start.
&lt;br/&gt;-----
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;I have been studying theology since 1965, both in Vancouver and in a
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;German University.  It now surprises me to state that nobody has ever
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;mentioned the subject of "Halos" in all those lectures, and in all the
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;theses and dissertations.  I now wonder why.
&lt;br/&gt;-----
&lt;br/&gt;Its not a mainstream concept,it lost traction for a few centuries there.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;I thought of the subject of "Halos" as a matter of ancient history.
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;Also as matter of esoteric art work.
&lt;br/&gt;-----
&lt;br/&gt;yes, it is those things, but it is also as modern as the people you know 
&lt;br/&gt;who've
&lt;br/&gt;got the glow.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;I've always known the word "Halo" - there is even a halo over a house
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;in an ad by a local real estate person whose first name is "Faith".
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;vanity halos in advertising seems like a poor taste rip off to me.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;But I never thought there were actual little white circles over
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;people's heads in real life.
&lt;br/&gt;-----
&lt;br/&gt;well, there are, tho they are immensely more complicated as an anatomical 
&lt;br/&gt;feature than a simple
&lt;br/&gt;white circle.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;I am coming to understand that halos represent something special about
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;a person.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;Specifically, that person is open to spirit enough that they aren;t just 
&lt;br/&gt;themselves in a body.
&lt;br/&gt;They are CONNECTED. They are "plugged in" to the "force."
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Not only about Jesus and Mary, and in some instances the
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;Disciples.  What is represented is a special quality of the person,
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;which some other people may actually see as a light surrounding the
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;body of the person, or perhaps just the head.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;depending on how big and how much activity of the halo in question, and how
&lt;br/&gt;well observers can perceive subtle reality.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;There is energy, or a genius, or love, emanating from some people.  A
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;Halo is a way of acknowledging that.
&lt;br/&gt;---
&lt;br/&gt;love is a good word, because it is the love relationship between that person 
&lt;br/&gt;and
&lt;br/&gt;spirit which forms the halo. Genius is a good word because once the Halo is 
&lt;br/&gt;open,
&lt;br/&gt;that person is incessantly "inspired" with potentially whatever information 
&lt;br/&gt;the mind
&lt;br/&gt;of god wants to impart to them.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;And everyone connected to that person may not see anything special
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;about the person.  Only a honoured few may see the "eminence" from the
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;person.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;That really depends on the people and how open THEY are to subtle reality.
&lt;br/&gt;Most people in our society can't see subtle reality AT ALL. But then again, 
&lt;br/&gt;a very strong
&lt;br/&gt;Halo event might be enough to be seen even by those who are normally blind 
&lt;br/&gt;to that
&lt;br/&gt;level of reality.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It may take many forms.  And so I think "Aura" is a good
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;connection.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;The Halo is one part of the Aura.
&lt;br/&gt;---
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It may appear to some who have an unusual gift or vision,
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;as an aura.  It may be white it colour, but it can be many other
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;colours as well.  It may surround the head only, or the whole body.
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;It may take many shapes.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;generally, its 3-5 inches  above the  head and between 8 and 20 inches in 
&lt;br/&gt;diameter.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;There may be a connection here with the traditions of native people.
&lt;br/&gt;&gt;We can probably learn a world of knowledge and insight from them.
&lt;br/&gt;----
&lt;br/&gt;errr.
&lt;br/&gt;You know its funny i just got into an argument over that. You see, some 
&lt;br/&gt;people claim
&lt;br/&gt;that Halos originate with sun worship. This is false. Halos originate with 
&lt;br/&gt;judiaic mysticism,
&lt;br/&gt;and artists drawing circles around peoples heads were not always drawing 
&lt;br/&gt;halos.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am a highly eclectic world religions studier, and i can tell you its 
&lt;br/&gt;wonderful to find
&lt;br/&gt;crossovers and assorted proofs that some native culture was doing something 
&lt;br/&gt;first.
&lt;br/&gt;However, Halos are indigenous to Judaic mysticism, don't let anybody tell 
&lt;br/&gt;you different.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What the traditions of native people help with is the addition of Chakras, 
&lt;br/&gt;so that we
&lt;br/&gt;can understand that the Halo is an operational condition of seventh chakra.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The rest of the most useful information comes from esoteric Judaism.

&lt;br/&gt;Into the distance, a ribbon of black
&lt;br/&gt;Stretched to the point of no turning back
&lt;br/&gt;A flight of fancy on a windswept field
&lt;br/&gt;Standing alone my senses reeled
&lt;br/&gt;A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
&lt;br/&gt;Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
&lt;br/&gt;Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
&lt;br/&gt;Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
&lt;br/&gt;Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
&lt;br/&gt;Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
&lt;br/&gt;No navigator to guide my way home
&lt;br/&gt;Unladened, empty and turned to stone
&lt;br/&gt;A soul in tension that's learning to fly
&lt;br/&gt;Condition grounded but determined to try
&lt;br/&gt;Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
&lt;br/&gt;Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
&lt;br/&gt;Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
&lt;br/&gt;My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
&lt;br/&gt;Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
&lt;br/&gt;Out of the corner of my watering eye
&lt;br/&gt;A dream unthreatened by the morning light
&lt;br/&gt;Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
&lt;br/&gt;There's no sensation to compare with this
&lt;br/&gt;Suspended animation, A state of bliss
&lt;br/&gt;Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
&lt;br/&gt;Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
&lt;br/&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;The custom saber shop is a great place for making and designing your own saber. 
&lt;br/&gt;www.thecustomsabershop.com 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you own a master replicas and wanted it upgraded or you are addicted to the movies then ultra saber has the sounds and light up effect. 
&lt;br/&gt;www.Ultrasabers.com 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you plan on dueling with your saber then park saber is where you should look. 
&lt;br/&gt;www.parksabers.com Or www.buystarwarsstuff.com (both links are park sabers) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;P.S. I got mine at Buy starwars stuff and I love it. 
&lt;br/&gt;May the Force(Tao) Be with you, 
&lt;br/&gt;Master Jedi&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>The Dark Side on FRONTLINE</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/fb431df2-c6bf-4217-90c8-51cfcfa48d07</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;On September 11, 2001, deep inside a White House bunker, Vice President Dick Cheney was ordering U.S. fighter planes to shoot down any commercial airliner still in the air above America. At that moment, CIA Director George Tenet was meeting with his counter-terrorism team in Langley, Virginia. Both leaders acted fast, to prepare their country for a new kind of war. But soon a debate would grow over the goals of the war on terror, and the decision to go to war in Iraq. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and others saw Iraq as an important part of a broader plan to remake the Middle East and project American power worldwide. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Meanwhile Tenet, facing division in his own organization, saw non-state actors such as Al Qaeda as the highest priority. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;FRONTLINE's investigation of the ensuing conflict includes more than forty interviews, thousands of pages of documentary evidence, and a substantial photographic archive. It is the third documentary about the war on terror from the team that produced Rumsfeld's War and The Torture Question.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Amid daily revelations about prewar intelligence and a growing scandal surrounding the indictment of the vice president's chief of staff and presidential adviser, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, FRONTLINE goes behind the headlines to investigate the internal war that was waged between the intelligence community and Richard Bruce Cheney, the most powerful vice president in the nation's history. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"A lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly, without any discussion, using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies," Cheney told Americans just after 9/11. He warned the public that the government would have to operate on the "dark side."  
&lt;br/&gt;

      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/35f7e29e-dc20-4a6d-9abe-8043b734adb8</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;episode III i think was kinda lame.
&lt;br/&gt;Off with the jedi...
&lt;br/&gt;and then they were dead, it was kinda pathetic.
&lt;br/&gt;I mean, from all the Jedi games i've played, i've learned that even a padawan can take on 30 troops no problem. Is anyone else pissed off that the jedi just kinda... died?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>3D Instant messenger</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/a9e0dd77-33e6-47ba-9eac-fa8dc5ee5d78</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Greetings!
&lt;br/&gt;I'm PdxDruid. I want to invite you all to a really awesome 3D chat
&lt;br/&gt;messenger. I have alot of Pagan friends there &amp;amp; been drawing many
&lt;br/&gt;from other areas on the Net to there. I'm hoping to create a really
&lt;br/&gt;strong Pagan presence there. When you join through my link you will
&lt;br/&gt;automatically be added to my Buddy list. This will help you find other
&lt;br/&gt;Pagans here as almost every single person in my Buddy list is Pagan of one
&lt;br/&gt;flavor or another. Heres a run down of how to earn credits here to buy stuff.
&lt;br/&gt;When you join they start you off with a 1,000 credits (Credits is our virtual currency).
&lt;br/&gt;The main ways to earn credits is to invite folks. When someone first accepts
&lt;br/&gt;a invite from you, you earn 500 credits then another 500 credits when they have their
&lt;br/&gt;first chat. They give you credit when they hit their 5th chat and others too
&lt;br/&gt;but I haven't kept up on how many. LOL Anyway if they buy their name ($7.95)
&lt;br/&gt;you get 2,500 credits. NOTE: You don't need to buy your name if you don't want to.
&lt;br/&gt;If you don't then you just end up stuck with the word Guest in front of your name.
&lt;br/&gt;Alot of folks have guest in front of their name &amp;amp; been here since the beginning.
&lt;br/&gt;Also Guest have little ads on there homepage. No biggy. The benefits of buying
&lt;br/&gt;your name is it drops the Guest from name, drops the ads from your homepage.
&lt;br/&gt;Allows you to download the Developer program &amp;amp; become a
&lt;br/&gt;Developer and design &amp;amp; sell clothes &amp;amp; other stuff in the catalog and
&lt;br/&gt;a few other things I haven't really learned yet. But mainly unless you
&lt;br/&gt;want to be a Developer you don't need to buy your name unless you don't
&lt;br/&gt;like Guest in front of your name. One of my friends I invited husband
&lt;br/&gt;bought her the full adult access pass &amp;amp; I got 10,000 credits. Adult
&lt;br/&gt;Access allows you to buy adult mature stuff like nudity skins and stuff.
&lt;br/&gt;So unless you like doing rituals online Skyclad or (LOL) a real flirt
&lt;br/&gt;you don't need it. LOL You can buy credits but unless you are loaded
&lt;br/&gt;why bother? You can earn plenty just by inviting folks and its a great
&lt;br/&gt;way to make friends as well. Speaking of Rituals online. No one is
&lt;br/&gt;doing this yet here &amp;amp; one of my good friends is a Developer &amp;amp; I'm
&lt;br/&gt;learning to be a Developer. Me &amp;amp; her are working on creating ritual
&lt;br/&gt;scenes/themes so folks can do ritual online. Great for those who are
&lt;br/&gt;in secluded places or don't have other Pagans in their area to work
&lt;br/&gt;with and like to even if it is online, experience ritual with others.
&lt;br/&gt;I have a Stonehenge Theme that has a Ritual/council like lodge &amp;amp; hold
&lt;br/&gt;little workshop discussions within it. Its a great little lodge to do
&lt;br/&gt;Druidic 101 or Wicca 101 classes in also. I also have a Redwoods Theme
&lt;br/&gt;and I just did a cyber handfasting in it for 2 and that was kinda cool.
&lt;br/&gt;Their Avatars were all dressed up for it &amp;amp; mine wore its celtic robe
&lt;br/&gt;and deer antlers on his head (This avatar is temporarly down and I'm
&lt;br/&gt;using my PdxDruid one). LOL There are alot of cool Pagan themes
&lt;br/&gt;already but they are mainly Pagan social themes. Like the Wiccan
&lt;br/&gt;Retreat Cafe &amp;amp; the Goddess Cabin. 2 of my favorite. The first time I
&lt;br/&gt;chat with you its in the Cafe. The Cafe can seat like 12 people so its
&lt;br/&gt;kinda cool though its still in Beta and can usually only get 3 avatars
&lt;br/&gt;to appear in it though I did have up to 7 Avatars in there once. They
&lt;br/&gt;are busy working out the kinks though and many I have invited love it
&lt;br/&gt;enough they willing to deal with the little quirks. LOL Anyway when
&lt;br/&gt;you join and I'm on I spend my first chat with you teaching you how
&lt;br/&gt;to control your Avatar and to get to know you then set you loose to
&lt;br/&gt;have fun and explore. If I'm not online when you join just click Chat
&lt;br/&gt;now &amp;amp; someone will pop up and help you. If you get a newbie learn what
&lt;br/&gt;you can then say thank you and try Chat now again till you get someone
&lt;br/&gt;whose gotten good at it.
&lt;br/&gt;You can also click my homepage in your Buddy list &amp;amp; there you will
&lt;br/&gt;fine my buddy list and it will show you who is online (this is great
&lt;br/&gt;if you perfer to have a fellow Pagan help you rather than a random
&lt;br/&gt;person in the Chat now mode). Click their pict then it will take you
&lt;br/&gt;to their page. You can leave a message (If its a question make them
&lt;br/&gt;private so their page don't get flooded with questions) or click there
&lt;br/&gt;homepage pict &amp;amp; it will launch a chat with them. Let them know I
&lt;br/&gt;invited you &amp;amp; they will help you learn how to use your Avatar. Once
&lt;br/&gt;you learn to use your Avatar start inviting your Pagan Friends and
&lt;br/&gt;earn shopping credits &amp;amp; have fun. Hope to see you there! Below is the
&lt;br/&gt;link. http://www.imvu.com/catalog/web_registration.php?userId=1547889
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;go na Tiarna agus Bantiarn coill glas beannacht glas tu!&amp;amp;lt;br&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;May the Lord and Lady of the Green Wood Bless you

      <title>Sec of State Condi Rice responds to hurricane disaster by buying several-thousand-dollar pair of shoes in NYC moments ago, and spends last night at Broadway show!</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/3c4ef832-b886-452c-8272-fe879ebc11ee</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/09/breaking-sec-of-state-condi-rice.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.buzzflash.com/?time=24
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;According to Drudge, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has recently enjoyed a little Broadway entertainment. And Page Six reports that she’s also working on her backhand with Monica Seles. So the Gulf Coast has gone all Mad Max, women are being raped in the Superdome, and Rice is enjoying a brief vacation in New York. We wish we were surprised.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What does surprise us: Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Angry Lady, whoever you are, we love you. You are a true American.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For anyone who still doesn't get it, let's talk for a moment about why this story matters.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The president, finally, has decided that the hurricane is a problem. He claims yesterday at 5pm, finally, that he's going to be devoting his entire administration to saving the lives of the people currently dying in this growing national disaster. And what does a top member of his cabinet do? She goes to a Broadway comedy and today is buying multi-thousand-dollar shoes on 5th Avenue at the same time CNN is showing dead grandmothers in wheelchairs abandoned on the streets of New Orleans.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is more than just a cheap shot at Condi. What in the blazes is this woman doing at a Broadway show in the middle of a national emergency? This is akin to going to a Broadway show in the middle of September 11. Don't we expect the Secretary of State to work past 5pm on a day an entire American city is being wiped off the face of the planet? And shouldn't she be doing something else today than shopping at filthy rich stores on 5th Avenue? Could she be - oh, I don't know - working with foreign leaders, like the Mexicans, to see what immediate assistance they can offer to the neighbor?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;New Orleans is ceasing to exist. What in God's name is Bush doing letting his secretary of state go on vacation in the middle of this?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Message: "I don't care."&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;~~I think we need a new order: The Jedith, hybridyzed teachings of both Jedi and Sith.  There is no Light without Shadow and vice versa.  You must understand the fullness of the circle and your path in the end is all about intention.  Always was, but to make a choice in ignorance of half the truth isn't a very informed choice.

      <title>Good/Evil...Light/Dark....Jedi/Sith...All are nescessary and have their place.</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/9a3a6e62-4b9d-4898-a3f0-3dfd6459b7db</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Good is the creation of harmony, the crystilazation of an ideal, pattern, concept.  A crystal is solid and can withstand the tests of time. But what happens when that crystal is formed with a flaw? Or if the parts that make up the crystal can be put to better use elsewhere?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;That is where evil comes in...the dark side.  It is only the evil that can destroy that which has been crystilized in reality.  It is the evil that breaks apart the gem so taht it may reform into something greater...or simply something different. With out the darkside, the jedi counsel would still be removed from the masses. Sitting high in their towers, growing weaker and rotting from within.  IT is this darkness that paved the way for the new jedi council to form. For new levels of the force to be found and understood.  With out this darkness...all would be lost...crystilized for eternity....stagnent.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Yet it is the Lightside which reforms these fragments, joins them anew to create a better manifestation of the whole.  And the dance continues....perfect.
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Genetic flaw</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/e371711d-5625-42c7-a68a-54666456897f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Has anyone found it humorous that in ep. IV there is a trooper that hits his head on the door when chasing Han and Chewie? This was originally a slip in the editing, but it was unfortunately un-cutable. What I mean is that the pace of that scene is just so that it would have been very noticeable had they cut it out. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So what did they do to remedy this little editing flaw? Why they did what all good story tellers do they improvised. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When they were filming ep. II they show Jango getting into "Slave 1" and hitting his head on the hatch door and they als ogave him a scare for it. You'll notice that the Clones, Boba and Jango all have a scare on their forheads. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All of this for a simple little thing that could not be cut out of an earlier episode.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Ahhhhhh... Great to be come back to the Tribe after a hyatis and see it thriving with such awesome posts!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;First I must say that-- I can totally understand how some may see the Midichlorian Thing as demystifying the zen-like ambiance of the Force with scientific concepts-- though I must say that I, personally, was never thrown off by it, but immediately was absorbed even stronger INTO it. To me it only made sense, really-- the whole symbiosis thing... reciprocity... "Lifeforms working together for mutual advantage". To me it never seemed scientific, but even MORE mystical, really... Higher Reality stuff.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All Living Things ARE a part of the Universe. "Luminous beings are we... not this crude matter". All matter is TRULY moving vibrations of energy-- this is FACT... Quantum Reality. Nothing is truly SOLID... we and Everything are mostly... something other than solid. And from a scientific standpoint we really haven't been able to define the "space" between each atom that buzzes in orbit around a nucleus within a molecule that makes up a strand of DNA within the nucleus of a cell existing in an organ of a complex biological system within each living being on any planet which orbits similarly to (a) sun(s) which spiral in only a single galaxy that itself is spinning and changing in an expanding and contracting universe. It boggles the mind, but All things are truly connected, AND...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To me, Midichlorians just add ANOTHER dimention of thought and mystery to the Force... They DEEPEN my spirituality with the Force. It is MY understanding that Midichlorians are not limited to the number that one is born with. Now follow me on this one...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Energy resonates-- which means similar waves attract to each other... An individual then attracts what (s)he puts out, and focuses his/her consciousness on. "Your focus determines your reality". "Be mindful of your thoughts". One common instance in which this can be seen is the destructive way that the Dark Side may scar those who wield such powers.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I believe that yes, some people may indeed be born with higher Midichlorian counts than other people (particularly legendary figures of power, especially children of immaculate conception). But, to me, it seems clear that if one continues to act in a way that nurtures thier Highest, then those higher vibrations will be what is recieved. And acting in a way that feeds our lowest will attract lower vibrations.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And it can grow exponentially... aquiring more ability to tap and use the Force as a RESULT of using it. Now since we seem to channel the Force THROUGH the Midichlorians-- then the more Force proficient we are, the more Midichlorians we have-- and thus have willfully ATTRACTED into or BIRTHED within ourselves.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If we excercize compassion, peace, and righteousness, then THAT is what we resonate with, and thus become MORE of.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If we excercize intollerance, conflict, and selfishness, then THAT is what we resonate with, and thus become MORE of.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All the natural Laws of the Universe-- or The Force-- still apply: Causes lead to effects, and-- even WITHOUT upholding cultural human peerceptions of "Good" vs "Bad"-- certain intentions and actions simply attract or create peace and focus and healing, and certain other intentions and actions attract or create agitation and seperation and dis-ease.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Power of The Force may be felt by those who have the Will (and perhaps an Opening to learn new beliefs that awaken oneself to empowerment) and focus of mind to plug into it the Flow that "surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together". That which "controls our actions, but also obeys our commands".
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For me, it's not an interpretation of a Star Wars concept. It's a realisation of a Truth that I, for one, KNOW for myself, as it IS my reality, and I believe, too, that it is equally a reality for all of you. I see the power to BE the Jedi that you ARE existing RIGHT NOW-- if not in full-bloom then perhaps blossoming, or at least as a Seed of Possibility that DOES exist Here and Now within each of us. Perhaps I've lost some readers by this point (Boy, can I babble deeeeep stuff... and I can babble Star Wars!), or perhaps some of you already know of what I speak. For those who have read this far and STILL think it's quantum-hippy psychobabble, then I at least thank you for expanding your mind into a new direction for a few moments, and I invite you to ask yourself what ways the Midichlorian theory DOES tie into what you love about the Good Ol' Force. You'll probably discover some correllations of your very own!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ahhhhhh... It's good to be back!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Djedi</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/b21ff322-dfbc-4673-9e8d-e90fc0e3c3ff</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;A friend of mine has been working on startng a academy based on the trainings of the Jedi. Only George Lucas loves money so there is no using the name"Jedi." 
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks to Ormungander(OM108X) I suggested the origin of the name. Djedhi. The were the high preists of egypt and on their way to becomeing ascendant masters, and the djed pillar is a symbol of stability and regeneration. I interpret regeneration as a form of imortality. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now researching it more I found very little use of the actuall word/name Djedhi or Djedi. More than anything it was Djed or the city of Djedu. One Djed wizard was told to have been able to resurect the dead. He refused to demonstrate on a slave, so instead killed and animal(a sheep I think) and brought it back to life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am asking for any assistance, advice, teachings, comments, recomendations, and anything that can help further this intention along it's path. I will let you all know more as it progresses. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Be the force

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I've been out of the Tribe Loop for a while, now, so I think I missed something, but...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can anyone tell me why the original posting titled "Energy Study" by Alpha O was deleted?  Sounds like it might have been right up my alley... real life Force stuff.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone???

      <title>Penari Saber: Fact or Fiction</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/5a4728bf-ae21-4b72-ad82-26474d0cae4f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Is the Penari Saber part of the Star Wars Universe, or is it just a random piece of Fan Fiction not recognized by George Lucas?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For those unfamilar with the Penari Saber, it was suppose to have been invented 2000 years before Phantom Menace.   Built by Jedi scientist Crutus Penari.  This yellow bladed saber was said to be able to cut through other lightsabers, and was ultamtely ordered to be dismantled because the Jedi Council of that time found it to be too much of a threat.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dose anyone know of what story, novel, or comic book the Penari Saber origionated from, or is it just some piece of fan-fiction that is by no means cannon in the Star Wars Universe.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The concept of a lightsaber cutting through another saber fasinates me.  How would it function?  Dose it disrupt the energy flow of a normal lightsber, causing the Penari to slip through a normal energy blade?  Thus would it be useless to block with because as the Penari passes through the other blade, that other blade would be left unaffected and intact as it continues it's arc towards you. Try to do an over head block as the Penari slips through the other blade. ouch
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Or.... dose the Penari so Severly disrupt a normal blade that it causes the other blade to shut down, thus damaging the lightsaber by causing some kind of energy feedback frying the electronic innards of the saber.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any ideas? Dose anyone know anything about it?
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>The Djed</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/c1fbf116-458c-45bf-ad91-8261097adc47</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Some notes on the nature if Djed . . . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Some Awesome Geometry : 
&lt;br/&gt;http://evolutionoftruth.com/abennett/djed.htm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The DJED COLUMN 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Appearance: The djed is an Egyptian symbol that is depicted as a column with a broad base and capital. At the top of the column the capital is divided by four parallel bars. The image has been interpreted in several ways. It is said to be: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;four pillars, seen one behind the other 
&lt;br/&gt;a man's, or Osiris' backbone 
&lt;br/&gt;a Syrian cedar with its branches removed 
&lt;br/&gt;the pole around which sheaves of grain were tied 
&lt;br/&gt;History: Osiris was originally an agricultural deity from Syria. When his followers immigrated to Egypt, they brought with them their fetish (cult object). Their fetish was the djed and they named their city after it, "Djedu". As the popularity of Osiris grew, so did the djed's appearance in art, especially in tombs. The djed was often painted on the bottom of coffins where the deceased's backbone would rest. The djed was also often created as an amulet of stability and regenerative power.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In Old Kingdom times, the djed was associated with the chief god of Memphis, Ptah, who was called the "Noble Djed." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Djed Pillar Festival was a cultic celebration of the symbol and its powers. It was held annually in Egypt and was a time of great spiritual refreshment for the people. The priests raised the djed pillar on the first day of shemu (the season of harvest on the Nile). The people then paid homage to the symbol and conducted a mock battle between good and evil. Oxen were driven around the walls of the capital, honoring the founding of the original capital, Memphis. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Meaning: The djed column was the Egyptian symbol of "stability". It was the symbol of the tree that grew around Osiris's casket and was used as a pillar in a Byblos palace. The djed was considered necessary to aid in the transformation of human flesh into the spiritual form assumed by the deceased in eternity.

      <title>great disturbance in the force</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/dfb77996-12be-45ae-b1fe-04456e5a939d</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I feel there's been a great disturbance in the force.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;After leaving episode III I felt out of balance and ill for three days.  It was not because the film ended on a down note.  That was inevitable.  After meditating on it I've concluded that:
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;GEORGE LUCAS has gone to the dark side.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Why, I haven't clarity at this time.  But maybe some of you have.  There were always the rumors that it was not his brilliance that created episode IV at all, but perhaps stolen from Alan Dean Foster.  This is a lot more believable now.  There is no way that episode IV and III are from the same spirit in any way.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Let alone insulting any true fans with the numerous inconsistencies in III.  I shouldn't go into it all, but an obvious one was Leah's conversation with Luke where she claims to remember her mother being very beautiful and sad, etc.  Oh yeah, we're supposed to accept she got that 75 seconds after birth.  I could continue, but it is unnecessary.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The true give away is that Lucas paints an entirely weak and pathetic image of the Jedi, their ability, power, and use of the force throughout episode III.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;  It's hard to believe it was pure Hollywood glamor that drove him to do it.  He must have read the reports of hundreds of thousands of people world wide who claimed Jedi as their religion on census forms.   As well as the well known reality that for many people the fleshing out of the concepts of the Force has become their true connection to their own personal power and an opening to their spirituality.  Lucas has to be aware of the intense influence the Star Wars saga has had on the collective spirituality of the species.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So why did he do it?  Why did he make the much anticipated seduction of Anakin Skywalker to the dark side so weak and pathetic.  This one soul turning is going to make quite an impact on their entire galaxy, he annihilates Alderon, etc.  Let me get this straight Anakin turns to Darth Vader because of a nightmare?  That's it.  WEAK!!!  His diluted shift to the dark side made jedi look weak, made the force seem like a set of mind games, it makes the dark side look like no real threat.  What type of emotion did this evoke in his audience.  Not a lot.  I was groaning, with "Oh, please, how pathetic"  disappointment.  Now when Anakin slaughtered an entire tribe of Sand people after his mother dying in his arms, that was more believable.  Each member of the audience could question their own feelings, and wonder if they too would have done the same.  But a nightmare with no real detail, who could relate?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What about Padme?  What was Lucas's intention there?  Her character was developed as strong, intense, sworn to duty, and very much like a Jedi herself.  Now what is the image Lucas leaves us with?  Pathetic, absolutely pathetic, and out of character.  Lucas has her die of nothing.  A broken heart, how pathetic.  Padme, Leah and Luke's mother who served her duties with all her soul.  We're supposed to accept that she just "loses the will to live" while being called to the highest duty any woman ever could be, motherhood.  She names them without hesitation, and then rolls over will less and dies of nothing.   Was Lucas trying to make us sick?   Leah remembers her mother,  Padme was also strong with the Force.  Well, not any more! Lucas just rewrote history and made it ugly, spirit less, and pathetic.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What about the numerous Jedi he showed being taken out by a few cloned storm troopers.  Like they wouldn't have felt the shift and seen it coming.  Lucas didn't even have the decency to have thousands taking down each Jedi.  Since when do storm troopers take out main characters anyway.  They had been shown previously as hardly able to hit a target the size of a barn.  Let's all forget that Obi Wan said that Darth Vader assisted the Emperor in hunting down and destroying the Jedi, not a few storm troopers.  Why would Lucas now choose to make the Jedi look so weak, unintuitive, and pathetic? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Tell me anyone left the theater sympathizing with Anakin or Padme.  I bet most people left feeling weak and nauseated the way I did.  Lucas let down his true fans.  He also let down those who considered Star Wars a true awakening to our inner power and spirituality, those who are developing the force, or who live or practice in the ways and faith of the Jedi.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've had to exert personal energy to try to shift my emotions continuously since the 19th of May.   My judgment has been clouded with hateful emotions... I just can't see at this time why he did it.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If this sounds like an exaggeration, or a bit over doing it.  I ask you what image of Jedi you left the theater with?  How did you feel?  I invite you to search your feelings.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;                                                                          -Shereen&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Bad News for diversity in movies... AMC, and Carlyle Group owned Loews Cineplex To Merge</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/cb48b2be-cc58-490e-a299-1b3aaa661c94</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;The Carlyle Group (http://www.hereinreality.com/carlyle.html)which last year aquired Loews just 2 days after Fahrenheit 9/11 opened has now merged with AMC.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It does make me wonder if Michael Moore and others will be able to release their future movies as easily.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What do people think?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://cbs4boston.com/entertain/entertainment_story_172172850.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;AMC, Loews Cineplex To Merge
&lt;br/&gt;Will Have Interests In About 450 Theaters 
&lt;br/&gt;Jun 21, 2005 5:28 pm US/Eastern
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Movie theater chains AMC Entertainment Inc. and Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corp. said Tuesday they plan to merge, and will be led by current AMC Chairman, CEO and President Peter C. Brown. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The new company will be called AMC Entertainment Inc. and will be headquartered in Kansas City. The combined entity will own, manage or have interests in about 450 theaters in 30 states and 13 countries. An integration committee will be formed in which Travis E. Reid, president and CEO of New York-based Loews Cineplex, and Brown will serve as co-chairs. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The merger agreement also provides for the merger of AMC's and Loews' holding companies. In late 2004, a group of private investors purchased AMC, the nation's second-largest theater chain, for about $2 billion. Bain Capital, Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Investors acquired Loews Cineplex from Onex Corp. and Oaktree Capital Management in 2004 for $1.5 billion. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Michael L. Savner, an analyst with Banc of America Securities, said in a research note that the merger "makes sense ... given the similar urban focus of both companies and the benefits that can be achieved through economies of scale." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Savner said the nation's largest movie theater chain, Regal Entertainment Group, and the third-largest chain, Carmike Cinemas Inc., focus on different markets than AMC and Loews, so he does not expect "meaningful competitive implications." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And although Hollywood has been experiencing its longest box-office decline in 20 years, Savner said he expects trends to improve in the second half of the year. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;AMC spokeswoman Pam Blase said the industry always has ups and downs. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"It's safe to say we're in a down cycle right now, but it will go up again and we will be there with a very strong company," Blase said. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;She could not say if the merger would result in theater closings or layoffs, saying those details would be determined in the next several months. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Marquee Holdings, which is controlled by JP Morgan Partners and Apollo Management affiliates, will continue as the holding company for the merged businesses. Bain, Carlyle and Spectrum - stockholders of LCE Holdings - will own about 40 percent of the new holding company. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The companies said they plan to refinance their senior credit facilities in connection with the closing of the merger. The merger will not constitute a change of control for the outstanding senior notes of Marquee Holdings Inc. or the outstanding senior notes or senior subordinated notes of AMC Entertainment Inc. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;AMC and Loews said they expect the merger to close within six to nine months, subject to antitrust approval and financing completion. Financial details of the deal weren't disclosed. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In 2004, AMC reported a loss of $10.7 million on revenue of $1.78 billion. The company currently owns more than 230 theaters with about 3,500 screens. Loews Cineplex, the oldest theater circuit in North America, has about 2,100 screens at 200 theaters worldwide. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Blase said the merged company will own, manage or have interests in theaters in 14 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China (Hong Kong), France, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, the U.S. and Uruguay.

      <title>The Empire Strikes Bush - Star Wars in political context</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/2da8f017-1081-4851-8043-52254f0faf15</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi everyone,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I thought I would share the review in the Washington Post that makes note of all the reviewers who catch the political context of these films.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Yours in haste,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Gandalf
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Empire Strikes Bush
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;By Dan Froomkin
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Special to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2005/05/16/BL2005051600615.html
&lt;br/&gt;Monday, May 16, 2005; 12:48 PM
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"This is how liberty dies -- to thunderous applause."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So observes Queen Amidala of Naboo as the galactic senate grants dictator-to-be Palpatine sweeping new powers in his crusade against the Jedi in the final "Star Wars" movie opening this week.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's just one of several lines in "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith," that reveal the movie to be more than just a sci-fi blockbuster and gargantuan cultural phenomenon.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Revenge of the Sith," it turns out, can also be seen as a cautionary tale for our time -- a blistering critique of the war in Iraq, a reminder of how democracies can give up their freedoms too easily, and an admonition about the seduction of good people by absolute power.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Some film critics suggest it could be the biggest anti-Bush blockbuster since "Fahrenheit 9/11."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;New York Times movie critic A.O. Scott gives "Sith" a rave, and notes that Lucas "grounds it in a cogent and (for the first time) comprehensible political context.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;" 'Revenge of the Sith' is about how a republic dismantles its own democratic principles, about how politics becomes militarized, about how a Manichaean ideology undermines the rational exercise of power. Mr. Lucas is clearly jabbing his light saber in the direction of some real-world political leaders. At one point, Darth Vader, already deep in the thrall of the dark side and echoing the words of George W. Bush, hisses at Obi-Wan, 'If you're not with me, you're my enemy.' Obi-Wan's response is likely to surface as a bumper sticker during the next election campaign: 'Only a Sith thinks in absolutes.' "
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Agence France Presse reports that the movie delivers "a galactic jab to US President George W. Bush."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's been generating "murmurs at the parallels being drawn between Bush's administration and the birth of the space opera's evil Empire."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Are some people reading too much into the movie?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Filmmaker George Lucas insists that the genesis of his story dates back 30 years. But he pointed out that certain themes do seem to repeat themselves, whether here and now or a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Bruce Kirkland writes in the Toronto Sun: "Star Wars is a wakeup call to Americans about the erosion of democratic freedoms under George W. Bush, filmmaker George Lucas said yesterday.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Lucas, responding to a question from the Sun at a Cannes Film Festival press conference, said he first wrote the framework of Star Wars in 1971 when reacting to then U.S. President Richard Nixon and the on-going events of the Vietnam War. But the story still has relevance today, he said, and is part of a pattern he has noticed in his readings of history.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;" 'I didn't think it was going to get quite this close,' he said of the parallels between the Nixon era and the current Bush presidency, which has been sacrificing freedoms in the interests of national security. 'It is just one of those re-occurring things. I hope this doesn't come true in our country. Maybe the film will awaken people to the situation of how dangerous it is.' "
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;David Germain writes for the Associated Press: "Lucas never mentioned the president by name but was eager to speak his mind on U.S. policy in Iraq, careful again to note that he created the story long before the Bush-led occupation there.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;" 'When I wrote it, Iraq didn't exist,' Lucas said, laughing.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;" 'We were just funding Saddam Hussein and giving him weapons of mass destruction. We didn't think of him as an enemy at that time. We were going after Iran and using him as our surrogate, just as we were doing in Vietnam . . The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable.' "
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lucas said he has long been interested in the transition from democracy to dictatorship.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"In ancient Rome, 'why did the senate, after killing Caesar, turn around and give the government to his nephew?' Lucas said. 'Why did France, after they got rid of the king and that whole system, turn around and give it to Napoleon? It's the same thing with Germany and Hitler.'
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;" 'You sort of see these recurring themes where a democracy turns itself into a dictatorship, and it always seems to happen kind of in the same way, with the same kinds of issues, and threats from the outside, needing more control. A democratic body, a senate, not being able to function properly because everybody's squabbling, there's corruption.' "
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Harlan Jacobson writes in USA Today: "Since screenings began last month at Lucas' Skywalker Ranch, people have been discussing parallels between the final film in Lucas' six-film Star Wars saga and current political events. . .
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Lucas said Darth Vader's saga is about how a good man turns himself into a bad one.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;" 'Most of them think they're good people doing what they do for a good reason.' "
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Marijke Rowland writes in the Modesto Bee: "Lucas' longtime producer Rick McCallum insists that the resemblances are coincidental.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;" '(The film) was started well before we even knew this disaster was going to happen,' he said, referring to Iraq war.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Scottish actor Ian McDiarmid, who plays the evil mastermind Chancellor Palpatine, who installs himself as emperor, said the film manages to reflect modern events while addressing timeless themes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;" 'It is a film about how easily (freedom) can disappear, how easily we can all be seduced into surrendering it while thinking we're having a good time,' he said. 'It chimes with the zeitgeist.'
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Adds McDiarmid: "It's a film that reflects contemporary events, but it is a film. Enjoy the metaphor." &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>A new generation of Jedi</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/5f0e7fad-f82a-4614-a60f-79e4155e29bf</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;The tribe's description made me think about an international orginzation dedicated to promoting the ideals listed.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;-- charity
&lt;br/&gt;-- volunteer work
&lt;br/&gt;-- political solutions
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A single organization which can voice all one's social concerns sans religion.  In fact I can think of only a few international orginizations that are not religion related.  Let's say for instance that I would like to get involved in some volunteer work and be sure that my charity contributions are not misused and be involved in penning a solution to campaign finance reform.  Imaginge an organization which provides me the structure and quidance to accomplish all these goals. Think globally act locally........ "Keep you concentration here and now where it belongs --- But master yoda said I should be mindful of the future"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Use the Star Wars popularity to get attention and start with a Jedi Creed to establish the goals of the organization.  It's basically an organization of people who are not soley motivated by self-intest but rather best for society.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Could it happen?&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/974f455a-67be-45db-9094-62b886cde3a0</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;according to a book I've read called Mind of the Ninja by Kirtland C. Peterson, the ninja actually find truth in the darkness inside themselves. They try to explore the darker sides of life without losing their "inner flame" that keeps them - themselves. They do this for personal power and understanding and as a tool.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This seems completely different compared to the jedi who maybe almost suppress their emotion and darker sides. Anakin obviously wasnt able to and did gain alot of personal power as Darth Vader. He also lost his "inner" flame, at least for a very long time.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any thoughts? I just sort of liked this view alot more than being good all the time.

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Saw the midnight showing.  Unbelivable, stuff I didn't know was coming, and I read spoilers!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dressed up like Anakin and stood in a line that wrapped around the mall.  It was great, I'll post pics soon.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I can't believe I was waiting for this day since I was four.  In a way its a little sad.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;May the force be with you.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Balance...</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/2e813f56-f2ef-4f05-8047-f4c891ae0d98</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Anakin was prophecized to be the one who will bring balance to the force, right? I've been thinking a lot about what that meant. By the time episode IV come out there are only two Sith, the Emperor and Vader, and only two Jedi, Yoda and Obi-wan. That seems to be, in a way, more balanced than hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith. Then there is the universe of the old republic, which does shift from a seemingly balanced world of light and dark, to a strictly controlled universe of the dark side. What balance was he supposed to bring, because deating all the Sith would certainly unbalance it all as well. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What's the word Jedi?&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Plans?  Partyies?  Reviewing of previous materials?  What is your preparation for the next chapter of the Lucas-stamped approved storyline?
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;For myself, I figure to be standing in line with friends to see the midnight on Thursday, May 19th showing probably in Pleasant Hill.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Anyone try the dark side M&amp;amp;Ms?

      <title>Enter the Dragon: Special Edition</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/9ee7442b-97a9-4009-b4d8-318b02165f05</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Allen brought up Ninjas and exploring the dark side. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On a related topic, I wonder if anyone has seen the special edition of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It looks a LOT like Star Wars in theme and even the way Bruce Lee's master speaks to him in his mind. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And I should mention that Enter the Dragon was produced and created BEFORE Star Wars. &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;[Verse 1: El Eloh]
&lt;br/&gt;I am he who walks beyond the cycle of Tan
&lt;br/&gt;A guinea systematic survey
&lt;br/&gt;On the heavens long before the spells of Kimet
&lt;br/&gt;I had advanced cosmos journey apologist
&lt;br/&gt;Substantiate statements
&lt;br/&gt;I commands the aspects of creation
&lt;br/&gt;Astronomers cant even interpret my ancient civilisation
&lt;br/&gt;Of Andromeda
&lt;br/&gt;The Dragon of Dracos come touch the inner sun
&lt;br/&gt;I went forth, a life force out of the core of Epsu
&lt;br/&gt;Bring forth the possibilities of solar energy into infinity
&lt;br/&gt;Like a Nimbo; endless, trapped it, Kingu;
&lt;br/&gt;A myth too ignorant Like the Sumerians
&lt;br/&gt;Explorer of the solar system like Galileo
&lt;br/&gt;Bring the mist of Mahabharata
&lt;br/&gt;Celestial God symbolic to the disagreeable complex mathematics
&lt;br/&gt;Of the Hebrew bible
&lt;br/&gt;Receive and transmit the letters of the Rasqiniaans
&lt;br/&gt;Who have seen the 3rd suns
&lt;br/&gt;I am like Milton Milankovich
&lt;br/&gt;Who outline the theory of ground philosophies
&lt;br/&gt;Messiah of all biblical tablets
&lt;br/&gt;Watch how the process of creation
&lt;br/&gt;links with the measurements of Tan
&lt;br/&gt;Scientifical like a geologist
&lt;br/&gt;I bring the geological changes to the world
&lt;br/&gt;Like the prophecies of the Book of Revelations
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;[Verse 2]
&lt;br/&gt;The compartment allies
&lt;br/&gt;Now my device shatters the fusel anomas
&lt;br/&gt;And for my dialectical, destroyed innocuous sinconquent
&lt;br/&gt;Travel beyond 5 dimensions
&lt;br/&gt;A cipher cytoplasm or phantasm
&lt;br/&gt;An Orc’s sight;
&lt;br/&gt;Antithetical to atoms
&lt;br/&gt;I leave you vacuous like an Organtoron, pulses
&lt;br/&gt;Facilitate my brain waves, determining what planet I’m on
&lt;br/&gt;CyberTron transmit my Mhakabaraso over the sea of influence
&lt;br/&gt;Never neglect My lobular units
&lt;br/&gt;Stereo-material movements
&lt;br/&gt;Painfully Cranials statisticals giving your Cerebral Cortex
&lt;br/&gt;Damaging Demigods
&lt;br/&gt;Crushing egos, into which a wench began by
&lt;br/&gt;Extracting a Trans-cordial
&lt;br/&gt;Connections of Macros-manic animals
&lt;br/&gt;Caves of sleek stature, once sabbatical
&lt;br/&gt;Once bring drama
&lt;br/&gt;I’m bright on harrowing lava
&lt;br/&gt;Within the Plexus from my anatomical
&lt;br/&gt;It gets darker
&lt;br/&gt;A sense of urgency
&lt;br/&gt;Enters the atmosphere with my excursion
&lt;br/&gt;In this Microcosm, a third version!
&lt;br/&gt;Specifically a generation
&lt;br/&gt;Of Mutated
&lt;br/&gt;Warriors from the Nether;
&lt;br/&gt;That’s ‘Neva Antiquated’
&lt;br/&gt;My flux is like somatic stimulation
&lt;br/&gt;As macro-electrolytes converge
&lt;br/&gt;Eternal recurrence
&lt;br/&gt;My mentals merge; its cyclical
&lt;br/&gt;But it revamps its own thesis, Reaching
&lt;br/&gt;The premium blend in the communion
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;[Verse 3: Rasul]
&lt;br/&gt;Follow me beyond the cloud
&lt;br/&gt;In the stratosphere, to the House of El Huul
&lt;br/&gt;It should lead you to a place opposite my heavenly throne
&lt;br/&gt;In the temple of ancient Kimet
&lt;br/&gt;Who discovered the wonders and the 24 elders
&lt;br/&gt;These beings, the Rasqiniaans
&lt;br/&gt;Come to enlighten you
&lt;br/&gt;With supreme Mathematics
&lt;br/&gt;Dramatically stood
&lt;br/&gt;12 disagreeable
&lt;br/&gt;12 agreeable
&lt;br/&gt;7 feet tall in diameter
&lt;br/&gt;These elders sit
&lt;br/&gt;On the flight in the craft Niburu
&lt;br/&gt;Passing through the universe density levels
&lt;br/&gt;Heading straight for the wrath of Andromeda
&lt;br/&gt;Elliptical physical galaxy
&lt;br/&gt;Containing beings in the line of Dracos
&lt;br/&gt;Stomping on negative snakes like Broncos
&lt;br/&gt;Create magnetic field around my aura
&lt;br/&gt;Incapacitating ships
&lt;br/&gt;Negative energy creates the spiritual slaughter
&lt;br/&gt;Where you dwell in the physical world is horror!
&lt;br/&gt;My mind returns to El Yeum
&lt;br/&gt;To inform the elders of the incident
&lt;br/&gt;In case of the need for assistance
&lt;br/&gt;To return to my epic form
&lt;br/&gt;From my physical;
&lt;br/&gt;And see my soul arise into a sham
&lt;br/&gt;Hitting the arcs of Cumulus clouds of Annun
&lt;br/&gt;I left my image of a crop circle in the form of a galactical star map
&lt;br/&gt;Perhaps to another plane of consciousness
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;[Verse 4: Ikon The Verbal Hologram]
&lt;br/&gt;Through a series of psychological tests
&lt;br/&gt;I have been declared a demon
&lt;br/&gt;Traveling through dimensions fatal weapons leave you bleeding
&lt;br/&gt;Dissecting gray matter, doesn't matter in my cathedral
&lt;br/&gt;But how could you stand my timberlands in your cerebral
&lt;br/&gt;Faces of space probes be scattered through my mental
&lt;br/&gt;Acoustics in my chamber just endanger instrumental
&lt;br/&gt;Fundamental rhythms are symbols of paternal power
&lt;br/&gt;Get devoured, by my infinite skills to disappear
&lt;br/&gt;Getting lost in the holocaust that rage between my ears
&lt;br/&gt;Complex like gravity
&lt;br/&gt;Tragically and mathematically
&lt;br/&gt;I defeat ya squadron black magically
&lt;br/&gt;Analyze the tangle
&lt;br/&gt;As you get mangled by my triangular rhythms...
&lt;br/&gt;Systematic rotations of my words cause cataclysms
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;[Verse 5: Breath of Judah]
&lt;br/&gt;In the farthest universal
&lt;br/&gt;At your communion Neffum council
&lt;br/&gt;Beings come to some planets in your galaxy
&lt;br/&gt;That were most frequently visited
&lt;br/&gt;Because life existed there
&lt;br/&gt;In various forms and deities it was
&lt;br/&gt;Why they explore mars
&lt;br/&gt;Gives meanings

&lt;br/&gt;Ploughing towards us
&lt;br/&gt;Lending aid to help our Taurus
&lt;br/&gt;Routine, orbit on the slate, clean

&lt;br/&gt;Searching our rich natural resources
&lt;br/&gt;And minerals
&lt;br/&gt;To take back after retrieving
&lt;br/&gt;Our responsibilities are fulfilled!
&lt;br/&gt;Like the Onus of Annun!
&lt;br/&gt;And En Yil!
&lt;br/&gt;So build the unstoppable force of Evol-u-TION!
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;"No matter what we attempt to do, no matter to what fields we turn our efforts, we are dependent on power. We have to evolve means of obtaining energy from stores which are forever inexhaustible, to perfect methods which do not imply consumption and waste of any material whatever. If we use fuel to get our power, we are living on our capital and exhausting it rapidly. This method is barbarous and wantonly wasteful and will have to be stopped in the interest of coming generations." Nikola Tesla &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Need Cinema Info</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/42f6a60e-acee-4b0f-807a-50587c35634b</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hey ~
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I need some help for a street promotions project that coincides with the release of the final Star Wars installment, “The Revenge of the Sith”.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To help spread the word about our light sabers, helmets, blasters and other prop replicas, I'm organizing marketing efforts in US cities.  We’re planning  sweepstakes, discounts, giveaways and special events - all with Stormtroopers and Jedi escorting our street reps.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here’s where I need YOU!  Send me any ideas that you, your Mom, your friends, cousins, classmates, coworkers or parole offices have about the COOLEST CINEMA in the cities listed below.  Know which theatre already! has fans lining up?  Has the best sound? The best seats?  Or is just so cool that you KNOW it’s the place we should be?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here are the cities we’ll be in, over premiere weekend, May 19, 2005:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami, SF,
&lt;br/&gt;Boston, Denver, Phoenix, DC,
&lt;br/&gt;Atlanta, New Orleans, Orlando,
&lt;br/&gt;Minneapolis, Seattle, Dallas and
&lt;br/&gt;Austin (TX)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any ideas, info, tips and scoops are welcome.  Also, anyone in these towns looking to help us out should get in touch with me.  Spin through our site and check out all the gear we have from Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, AVP and more.  I have items ready for trade...

      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/8d70b92e-bf96-4647-aafa-43488797c1b0</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Jedi,
&lt;br/&gt;Almost 9 months has the Jedi Contest stayed at the top of the list here. 
&lt;br/&gt;This should reveal to us that we are indeed Jedi with the right focus.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Well Done.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Trust&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Action Hero Training Camp in Mexico</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/43eab36e-4d32-4c6d-8239-a602b0b285cf</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;In 2000, I experienced a trial of thirst and pain blazing a trail on the Mountain of Death... which led to a vision and a divine opportunity that I want to share with you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Contemplating death by dehydration on a pathless mountainous mess of thorn bushes, I bargained with the universe to let me live, promising to devote my life to creating a learning center that would teach appreciation for the simplest of things, such as clean drinking water, peace, freedom and friendship. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In 2002, I made a trail up the mountain of Death, lead five boys from the village of Roblito to the top and made a video doc of the adventure for them to enjoy. They lived close to the mountain, but nobody from the village had ever climbed it. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Seed, an art teacher from Louisiana, joined me and we taught art classes in Roblito. We picked up litter scattered around the village, juggled, walked tight rope, caught fish, took pictures and visited the beach. This was the first Action Hero Training Camp.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The next three steps: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;#1. The Action Hero Network is a catalyst connecting people and resources for forming collective efforts to create community centers and common spaces. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;#2. Action Hero Training Camp brings together talented and inspiring individuals to teach skills and get stoked on mission-focused educational adventures and environmental awareness. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;#3. The Roblito Community Center for Cultural Exchange becomes a seasonal eco-village/retreat providing learning and leisure opportunities people of all income levels. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Until recently, I’ve called this project The FAR OUT School. Now I realize this title is too narrow. The FAR OUT School is a journey I’ve created for myself, where I am the principal and the student. I think of being in school as a state of mind, one of openness, curiosity, and exploration, so as long as I am seeking, I am in school. This is the quest I am on…. this is my question. I want to learn how do we make education more fun and purposeful.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Action Hero Network vision is to promote self-directed learning through action and community involvement. It is the U of You. You get out of it… whatever you put into it. What’s the quest ya on  …your question ...your mission?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I invite you to join me and other fun loving friends in Roblito this winter, between New Years and March break… to create your school!  We’ll work on our Action Hero-self, wear capes and fuzzy clothes, develop our powers, meet peaceful people, play with kids, make art from trash, sleep in tree house hammocks like monkeys, spend very little money, find quiet places, sing and dance around a fire, swim in waves and water ski, and through all this… create at curriculum connecting natural cycles and community needs.  This is the vision that gives me purpose. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'll be leaving LA around Christmas, driving down to Roblito via Tucson. There is room in my car. Meggio will also drive her van down from San Francisco if there are enough passengers to pay for gas. Taking the bus to Roblito from Tucson costs $70. You can also fly into Mazatlan, and bus south for $10.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Details will continue to be posted at actionhero.tribe.net  ….  Please add to the thread if you are interested in joining us. Also see www.solomax.com/farout.html for past stories and photos from Roblito.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please pass this on to others who may be interested.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Have fun and shine on!

      <title>some advice please for a wandering Jedi</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/76534bea-901c-48dc-a4b7-e5e3ea7a3c85</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I've dreamed of traveling for a while now.  My soul never loved the corporate world working at Geico and I freed myself.  Took off to Arizona, travled around for a few weeks.  Moved back to VA to care for my Mom.  She's all better after a few months now i'm back on the road.  While I was in VA I had a great opportunity working for Intregal Yoga a very new age openminded store.  I purchased a full seven bowl crystal singing bowl set.  They are incredible for meditation and I hope to share them in my travels.  I also met a really awsome woman online while searching where I wished to travel.  So I left for a week and ended up meeting this woman in Salt Lake.  No... she's not mormon hehe .  
&lt;br/&gt;She is a really cool chick I dig her and i've been here for the past couple weeks living with her.  Split rent with her which did hurt my budget as i've not yet found a job.  Ultimately I feel like she's kinda drawn me into a serious relationship i'm not ready for.  I've tried to talk to her and shes come at me with some serious reactions.  She showed me how big of a bitch she can be which she admits... Virgos... /sigh.  But I don't think I can deal with that or really want that.  
&lt;br/&gt;Let me shut up now and get to it... 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I believe my lifes mission is to serve.  God... the Tao... Humanity... whatever.  I'm very spiritual no particular denomination if I had to pick I would be Taoist.  In meditation I am constantly reminded my mission is to be selfless.  This is something i'm slowly growing into and is amazing.  The bowls helped me a lot allowing me to really help and share something with people.  Now I want to further my selflessness, letting go of my ego, building on my future skills as an artist.  I'm ready to travel if needs be or stay in Salt Lake.  I don't think i'm meant to be with this woman which I will tell her shortly.  
&lt;br/&gt;If you have any advice of some great places, communities, monestaries, schools, or a couch to lend?  I think i'd like to continue west as i've never been to California.  I also really wanna see Montana, Oregon, Washington... ok hell I wanna go everywhere.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyway much love, thanks for reading my plight. 
&lt;br/&gt;"Argue for your limitations, 
&lt;br/&gt;and sure enough they are yours" Richard Bach
&lt;br/&gt;I"m done arguing... 
&lt;br/&gt;Peace &amp;amp; Love
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Everett 
&lt;br/&gt;Wandering soul spreadin the love&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>the power of star wars mythology</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/30f2920b-6619-4246-8cb9-eee5a5f540f5</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;what is it about the star wars stories that can have such a real, powerful impact? i have had to put in a lot of effort to like and appreciate the last two movies, but even so, the power of the stories seems to be able to burst out of the confines of sometimes uncomfortable quantaties of squirming and groan-worthy movie minutes. the story that the prequels are struggling to express can still inspire passion and inspiration and creativity and change.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Luke's decisions</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/254fee6b-7237-4625-9b03-9672f5d16846</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;when luke was on dagobah and about to save his friends, obi-wan and yoda advised him not to go and that it would destroy everything they had worked for for. What did this mean exactly? I have been thinking about it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also I thought that maybe Luke taking his own decisions into his own hands was part of what made him a Jedi. the fact that he thought for himself - in doing the right thing. Maybe thats what makes up a Jedi. There are probably basic codes of conduct for jedi...but maybe its up all to the person to make the right decisions to help others.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;what do you think?&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Solar Bob told me about a coal burning power plant to be built in the Black Rock Desert.... yes the site of our lovefest Burning Man.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He said that the power would go to Yucca Moutain to build an underground city. A bit of searching found these links: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.ufoarea.com/bases_top_secret.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.elfdata.com/darkside/lfa/masterindex.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;...and well... See for yourself. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm blown away. There is energy to dig holes... deep, deep down... but no money for schools. This today's journal... sharing some key links: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.solomax.com/feb.2.5.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone out there know about other cool underground parties we could crash?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Stay open... and shine on!

      <description>&lt;div&gt;RIGHT F$$KING NOW
&lt;br/&gt;IN A GALAXY RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE
&lt;br/&gt;(2K3)
&lt;br/&gt;----------------------------------------------
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;how many of our offspring
&lt;br/&gt;will be forced to sing
&lt;br/&gt;the same old song
&lt;br/&gt;will be fed to the greed machine
&lt;br/&gt;slowly, surely turning green
&lt;br/&gt;as they chug along
&lt;br/&gt;in fossile-fuel burning earthcraft
&lt;br/&gt;turned green by rot and corruption
&lt;br/&gt;green like a dollar bill gathering lint
&lt;br/&gt;in the pocket of a three-piece suit
&lt;br/&gt;purchased with absconded tax money
&lt;br/&gt;fear and envy knocked back into their toxic hearts
&lt;br/&gt;feeling funny, tasting like honey
&lt;br/&gt;mixing together nicely like their 
&lt;br/&gt;poisonous compulsory post-workaday cocktails
&lt;br/&gt;as they watch the storm-troopers roll by like snails
&lt;br/&gt;and wait for ineffective public transit 
&lt;br/&gt;to herd them home from their timeclocks?
&lt;br/&gt;how many drops of blood squeezed from rocks
&lt;br/&gt;will they swallow
&lt;br/&gt;before they refuse to wallow
&lt;br/&gt;in the job-sty?
&lt;br/&gt;how long will they suffer
&lt;br/&gt;how long will they cry
&lt;br/&gt;before they refuse to pay
&lt;br/&gt;some boss's salary with their labor
&lt;br/&gt;how long before they light up a saber
&lt;br/&gt;and decide not to say, "someday....
&lt;br/&gt;someday some hero 
&lt;br/&gt;will show me what it means to be a jedi..."
&lt;br/&gt;don't think you are radical beacause of the ring inyour nose
&lt;br/&gt;your red eyes, your long hair, or your tattered modest clothes!
&lt;br/&gt;!START NOW!
&lt;br/&gt;what you do or do not do matters, not what you try
&lt;br/&gt;Force your oppressors to respect you without telling lies
&lt;br/&gt;don't abuse The Force &amp;amp; it'll protect you
&lt;br/&gt;erect you infinite column of light
&lt;br/&gt;and you will BE what is right
&lt;br/&gt;BE the secret weapon that wins the fight
&lt;br/&gt;without fighting
&lt;br/&gt;without even lighting up your saber!
&lt;br/&gt;some people think i'm mad as a hatter
&lt;br/&gt;or that i lie
&lt;br/&gt;when i say The Force is with them
&lt;br/&gt;but it's true
&lt;br/&gt;and so it is with you
&lt;br/&gt;YOU have the power
&lt;br/&gt;to break your bonds
&lt;br/&gt;and lead all your people on
&lt;br/&gt;to freedom!
&lt;br/&gt;just let The Force flow, 
&lt;br/&gt;let your hatred go
&lt;br/&gt;and you will know
&lt;br/&gt;what the future holdes
&lt;br/&gt;what to do and what not to do.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Art Imitates Reality: Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Infowars.com | November 16, 2004 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In Episode II, the leader of the Senate, soon to be the Emperor, secretly controls the rebellion (or the terrorists). Using the crisis he created, he expands his war
&lt;br/&gt;against dozens of planets. In Episode III, George Lucas expands on this theme.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How can children understand this plot, but adults can't get it when our own government has been caught using the same Hegelian tactic (September 11)? Read below for a description from the Star Wars website about how the emperor came into power and compare it to what our own government is doing:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Palpatine's term as Chancellor ended during the rise of the Separatists, but that crisis allowed him to extend his stay in office. Once the Clone Wars erupted, the Senate's inability to efficiently wage war on scattered fronts forced him to enact executive decree after executive decree. He added amendments to the constitution funneling more power to him, effectively circumventing the bureaucracy of the Senate. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The public and the Senate willingly gave up their rights and freedoms in the name of security. Under Palpatine's guidance, the war would be won, and the Republic would be safe. The monstrous specter of General Grievous leading an assault ensured that few questioned Palpatine's growing authority. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Jedi Council was among the wary. As an instrument of the Senate and the people, the Jedi order resisted Palpatine's direct control. This tension grew as the war escalated. Some in the Senate also quietly whispered their misgiving. Palpatine knew of a delegation of concerned Senators, and he would deal with them in time. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Palpatine instituted a military build-up unprecedented in galactic history. He created the New Order, a Galactic Empire that ruled by tyranny. The Jedi Knight s, his biggest threat, were extinguished by his greatest dark side pupil: Anakin Skywalker, who had become Darth Vader . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;During the Galactic Civil War, Palpatine ruled with an iron fist. He disbanded the Imperial Senate, and passed control down to the regional governors and the military."&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;O.K. I'm a newbie. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And I'm SURE there's SOMETHING "Jedi" about this place. I've done some reading of posts, and many of you seem right on... but I haven't read anything about the Jedi or The Force. Maybe I'm not in the right place, or perhaps I haven't looked hard enough. Again, I'm a newbie, and right now a very, VERY tired one, jonesing to go to bed. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Your focus determines your reality." --Qui Gonn Jinn 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've been breathing Star Wars since it's release when I was a boy. I've LIVED it, always in my heart. And always as a bit of a freak-- never taken seriously for sharing the Truths woven intrisictly in MY VERY BEING... Truths that George Lucus tapped me onto when I was 6. SIX YEARS OLD, Brothers and Sisters! Profound stuff! Understood beyond intellect... EVERYTHING is energetic. Consciousness has immense limitation, but the Higher Self/Spirit/Lifeforce percieves things FAR beyond the intellectual mind. I was 6. I understood. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And it's been an unfolding Proccess since then. The Way of the Jedi is in my heart, it's a part of who I am... it's shaped me towards becoming my Highest Vision. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;SOOOOO... Like the scraming buzz of a lightsaber now lit, I now flash into this tribe with a new thread for The Message Board. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I ask you, fellow Tribemates, why did you join this Tribe of the Jedi Order, and how did Star Wars, The Force, or the Jedi come into your life, and what role does it play, if any?  
&lt;br/&gt; reply to this post  &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;do you live on the west coast and program extra dope music? do subwoofers and drum mechines make you drool sometimes? i am seting up a web site with some other underground electronic artists who are dead serious about what they do. if you are interested send me a link with some of your music or e-mail me to get a mailing address. this is not associated with any record company or other for prophet type shit, just a demonstration of talent, skill and love. the point is to show people else where what is going on with the independent music scene and network with other people in your area. if you are not in love and obsessed with what you do to the point of insaity you need not apply.

      <title>Venus Transit !!!</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/d4a68485-aa66-4ace-94c1-9f1d7ccd991f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Dear friends...read it,look around and lets do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
&lt;br/&gt;Love you all!
&lt;br/&gt;The Venus Transit of June 8, 2004 is clearly the astronomical event of the 
&lt;br/&gt;year. But it may be much, much more than that. The Venus Transit has always 
&lt;br/&gt;preceded great breakthroughs in human consciousness and played a very 
&lt;br/&gt;significant role in the Mayan Calendar. It is also a turning point in the 
&lt;br/&gt;Vedic tradition. According to the Indian avatar of enlightenment, Sri Kalki 
&lt;br/&gt;Bhagavan, the Venus Transit of 2004 will be the actual starting point of the 
&lt;br/&gt;Golden Age, a process that will come to an conclusion at the next Venus 
&lt;br/&gt;Transit in 2012. This article presents the significance of the Venus transit 
&lt;br/&gt;on June 8, 2004 in its larger context and in relation to the Mayan Calendar. 
&lt;br/&gt;It is also an invitation to take part of a global celebration of this event 
&lt;br/&gt;called the Oneness Celebration.
&lt;br/&gt;The purpose of this article is to describe the role of the Oneness 
&lt;br/&gt;Celebration at the Venus transit on June 8, 2004 in its larger context. This 
&lt;br/&gt;will clearly be the "astronomical event of the year". To begin with, a Venus 
&lt;br/&gt;transit is an astronomical event where the planet Venus passes between the 
&lt;br/&gt;Earth and the sun - a sort of eclipse. Venus transits lasts for 6-7 hours 
&lt;br/&gt;and come in pairs separated by exactly 8 earth years minus two days. As far 
&lt;br/&gt;as human measures go such pairs of transits occur only rarely.
&lt;br/&gt;Below is a list of the years of the most recent occurrences, where the 
&lt;br/&gt;second transit in the pair is given within parentheses:
&lt;br/&gt;1518 (1526)
&lt;br/&gt;1631 (1639)
&lt;br/&gt;1761 (1769)
&lt;br/&gt;1874 (1882)
&lt;br/&gt;2004 (2012)
&lt;br/&gt;Since there is no person alive today who was born in 1882 or earlier the 
&lt;br/&gt;Venus transit in 2004 will be everyone's first such experience. What may we 
&lt;br/&gt;then expect from this occurrence? To find out it is certainly worth studying 
&lt;br/&gt;what happened in the world earlier in the first of these pairs of transits.
&lt;br/&gt;We may then note that 1518 was when the first circumnavigation of the globe 
&lt;br/&gt;by Magellan/del Cano was launched (they set sail in 1519). The impact on the 
&lt;br/&gt;minds of people of this accomplishment was enormous. Through their journey 
&lt;br/&gt;these captains had shown in practice that the world was not flat, but 
&lt;br/&gt;spherical. In the following years a new world view emerged in which it was 
&lt;br/&gt;clear that humans inhabited a globe. The time of speculation was over and 
&lt;br/&gt;this may be said to have been the first step in the development of a Global 
&lt;br/&gt;Brain.
&lt;br/&gt;The next pair of Venus transits approximately coincided with the emergence 
&lt;br/&gt;of the first national mail services (Denmark, 1624; Sweden, 1636) and so 
&lt;br/&gt;also seems to be associated with human communications. Written 
&lt;br/&gt;communications between people, initially in certain countries, then became 
&lt;br/&gt;routine even over long distances. The second in this pair of Venus transits 
&lt;br/&gt;is the first that is known to have been observed by humans.
&lt;br/&gt;In the Venus transit of 1761 there is much information to be found. The 
&lt;br/&gt;study of this event had long been prepared for by astronomers, who were 
&lt;br/&gt;planning to use their observations as a means of measuring the distance to 
&lt;br/&gt;the sun. This goal could however only be accomplished if observations were 
&lt;br/&gt;made all around the world, and for this to happen astronomers in different 
&lt;br/&gt;countries needed to collaborate.
&lt;br/&gt;The transit of Venus across the Sun was observed in 77 different places 
&lt;br/&gt;ranging from Karesuando to Pondicherry including Tobolsk, Tahiti, Beijing 
&lt;br/&gt;and Philadelphia. The point to realize here is that this was the first 
&lt;br/&gt;international collaboration project ever in science. Never before had 
&lt;br/&gt;scientists belonging to different national academies collaborated and it was 
&lt;br/&gt;the Venus transit that compelled them to do so. It may in fact be asked if 
&lt;br/&gt;this was the first international collaboration project of any kind, wherein 
&lt;br/&gt;different nations collaborated as such.
&lt;br/&gt;Regardless, an important step was taken in bringing the planet together and 
&lt;br/&gt;it was initiated through an impulse from the Earth's sister planet Venus. 
&lt;br/&gt;Putting the idea of international collaboration into practice was a crucial 
&lt;br/&gt;step in connecting the different peoples of the world.
&lt;br/&gt;The Venus transit in 1874 coincided with two very notable occurrences in the 
&lt;br/&gt;development of the Earth into a Global Brain: The founding of the World Post 
&lt;br/&gt;Union, and the completion of the Atlantic telegraph cable in the same year, 
&lt;br/&gt;which both marked fundamental steps in the development of global 
&lt;br/&gt;communications.
&lt;br/&gt;In 1874, moreover, Bell had his first idea of a telephone, which was 
&lt;br/&gt;patented two years later. In this year it became possible, for the first 
&lt;br/&gt;time, for people to routinely communicate around the globe as rapid means 
&lt;br/&gt;for this were developed. Needless to say, today's Internet would not have 
&lt;br/&gt;been possible without these preparatory steps in the development of global 
&lt;br/&gt;telecommunications.
&lt;br/&gt;Considering the occurrences accompanying these earlier Venus transits, and 
&lt;br/&gt;the steps forward in global communications and the evolution of the global 
&lt;br/&gt;brain that these have entailed, it is timely to ask what will happen as the 
&lt;br/&gt;next one takes place in 2004. What events and changes will accompany this? A 
&lt;br/&gt;fundamental difference compared to previous transits is the advanced state 
&lt;br/&gt;of global communications that now already exists. Hence, almost everyone in 
&lt;br/&gt;the world will, through newspapers, letters, telephones and the Internet, 
&lt;br/&gt;have advance notice of this Venus transit. The new steps forward on the path 
&lt;br/&gt;of humanity will be taken within the framework of the Global Brain with its 
&lt;br/&gt;nerve threads, i.e. the telecommunications network, that already exist.
&lt;br/&gt;Although this development of the Global Brain has been favoured by the 
&lt;br/&gt;energies of the katuns (periods of 20 x 360 days = 19.7 years) in the Mayan 
&lt;br/&gt;calendar in which the Venus transits have occurred, it is hard to avoid the 
&lt;br/&gt;impression that the very transit of Venus across the sun has somehow served 
&lt;br/&gt;to concentrate these energies and has sent an intensifying beam to planet 
&lt;br/&gt;Earth. During the Venus transits the cosmic energies were thus strongly 
&lt;br/&gt;amplified.
&lt;br/&gt;There are however many good reasons to believe that the Venus transit on 
&lt;br/&gt;June 8, 2004, in contrast to at earlier times, will herald a development of 
&lt;br/&gt;communications between human beings that is not based on technology. The 
&lt;br/&gt;chief reason is that we are now at a stage, the Galactic Underworld in the 
&lt;br/&gt;Mayan calendar, that favours the right brain half and the intuitive 
&lt;br/&gt;faculties of our mind that are mediated by this. And so, we may expect that 
&lt;br/&gt;the upcoming Venus transit will launch an era of communications utilizing 
&lt;br/&gt;mental rather than electromagnetic fields.
&lt;br/&gt;This new field, unlike gravitation in the National Underworld and 
&lt;br/&gt;electricity in the Planetary, will emerge as a synchronizing field of 
&lt;br/&gt;consciousness favoring spontaneous flow rather than linear planning. 
&lt;br/&gt;(Unfortunately it is not widely known that the different Underworlds in the 
&lt;br/&gt;Mayan calendar determine what fields are open to human beings to use for 
&lt;br/&gt;communications). Of course, this intuitive field may to some extent always 
&lt;br/&gt;have existed, but following the upcoming Venus transit human awareness of it 
&lt;br/&gt;will increase dramatically. This field favoring telepathic communication may 
&lt;br/&gt;be the most important factor in bringing about a harmonizing effect on the 
&lt;br/&gt;Global Brain. It is primarily mediated by the right brain half that at the 
&lt;br/&gt;current stage is favored by the cosmos, and may be the field of 
&lt;br/&gt;communication that turns the Earth into a new being, Gaia harmonica.
&lt;br/&gt;It seems obvious to a lot of people that the number of synchronicities 
&lt;br/&gt;(someone calling just when you think of him or her, etc) has increased 
&lt;br/&gt;sharply in recent times. Yet, these are really only weak premonitions of the 
&lt;br/&gt;full effects of the telepathic field that will now emerge. If a sufficient 
&lt;br/&gt;number of people become connected through this field we may expect that they 
&lt;br/&gt;will be able to harmonize their activities in a much more natural way than 
&lt;br/&gt;is currently the case. To support the emergence of this is the whole point 
&lt;br/&gt;with the Oneness Celebration. It may then be in its place to discuss the 
&lt;br/&gt;relationship between telepathy and the Oneness Celebration of June 6-8, 
&lt;br/&gt;2004. If the incorporation of a new field of intuitive mental communication 
&lt;br/&gt;is the next step in the development of the Global Brain, how will this 
&lt;br/&gt;affect us as individuals? Before going into this it should be recognized 
&lt;br/&gt;that it is impossible to tell exactly what the effects of this emerging 
&lt;br/&gt;field of telepathy will be.
&lt;br/&gt;(Imagine yourself a year before the first circumnavigation of the earth or 
&lt;br/&gt;the first global telecommunications trying to grasp the consequences.)
&lt;br/&gt;In fact, the Oneness Celebration may be regarded only as the great opening 
&lt;br/&gt;into this new field. Being able to see into, resonate with and connect to 
&lt;br/&gt;the thoughts and minds of others must however have a host of consequences 
&lt;br/&gt;that are difficult to predict in detail, but still important to ponder. To 
&lt;br/&gt;many that are unprepared some of the changes may in fact be shocking or hard 
&lt;br/&gt;to understand. Yet, if we imagine a world without secrets, where you and 
&lt;br/&gt;others are unable to hide their thoughts from each other, and where we, in a 
&lt;br/&gt;much more profound sense than currently, are all one, what would life be 
&lt;br/&gt;like?
&lt;br/&gt;If intentions or thoughts can not be hidden in this strengthened field of 
&lt;br/&gt;intuition an enormous amount of plotting against other persons, hidden 
&lt;br/&gt;agendas, etc, would become useless. Manipulation would cease. Hostile plans 
&lt;br/&gt;for deceiving others, in personal relations or in business, would loose 
&lt;br/&gt;their effectiveness. Plans for hurting others through crime, terror or 
&lt;br/&gt;warfare will become transparent. In general, it will be obvious to everyone 
&lt;br/&gt;when someone puts his own interest above the larger whole. Of course, that 
&lt;br/&gt;manipulative behavior or hidden agendas become clearly visible does not mean 
&lt;br/&gt;that they immediately would cease, but clear visibility would give others 
&lt;br/&gt;more of a choice as to how to relate to those with hidden motives.
&lt;br/&gt;Those that enter fully into this new field will themselves come to live in a 
&lt;br/&gt;world that is much more joyous than previously. Honesty and truthfulness 
&lt;br/&gt;will breed love. The downplaying of conflicts between them will allow them 
&lt;br/&gt;to function harmoniously amongst themselves. If we are able to co-create 
&lt;br/&gt;such a field we would start to become one in a very real sense. As we do, 
&lt;br/&gt;relationships between different individuals, or groups of people, will start 
&lt;br/&gt;to harmonize to a degree where it is obvious that hurting another is 
&lt;br/&gt;tantamount to hurting yourself. At the present time, this idea, that hurting 
&lt;br/&gt;someone else means hurting yourself however still has much the character of 
&lt;br/&gt;a "nice thought", something that express how you think things "should be" 
&lt;br/&gt;although they really are not. The added clarity of the new vision will alter 
&lt;br/&gt;this.
&lt;br/&gt;The breakthrough of a new level of telepathic contact would also mean that 
&lt;br/&gt;we add a new field of communication to the development of the Global Brain. 
&lt;br/&gt;This field would bring harmony, since through this everyone would be attuned 
&lt;br/&gt;to everybody else and to the purpose of the cosmic plan as well.
&lt;br/&gt;While there may remain limits to our ability to enter other people's minds, 
&lt;br/&gt;it seems likely that our sensitivity to the existence of hidden 
&lt;br/&gt;compartments, stored hidden agendas, etc., in others will increase 
&lt;br/&gt;dramatically. Maintaining such will be a characteristic of those that choose 
&lt;br/&gt;to see the world through duality and separateness. Of course, if other 
&lt;br/&gt;people can read your thoughts and be certain about your intentions, many 
&lt;br/&gt;would feel that they would loose something from this. This would include 
&lt;br/&gt;many that have judgmental thoughts about themselves and so want to hide 
&lt;br/&gt;parts of their inner reality. In fact, many whose intentions are not aligned 
&lt;br/&gt;with the higher good of all will probably avoid breaking through into 
&lt;br/&gt;Oneness. While it seems obvious that even in the short term the survival of 
&lt;br/&gt;planet Earth will be favoured by human beings getting to know how to utilize 
&lt;br/&gt;more extensive fields of telepathic contact, this would have implications 
&lt;br/&gt;that not everyone is likely to desire.
&lt;br/&gt;As should be obvious from the initial discussion Venus transits may be alone 
&lt;br/&gt;among astronomical events to have a track record that associates them with 
&lt;br/&gt;major steps in the development of the Global Brain. (The completion of the 
&lt;br/&gt;Atlantic telegraph cable in 1874 may for instance be seen as the creation of 
&lt;br/&gt;a kind of corpus callosum connecting its Western and Eastern Hemispheres). 
&lt;br/&gt;Because of this track record the Oneness Celebration at this Venus transit 
&lt;br/&gt;is not just another one in a number of global meditations that for different 
&lt;br/&gt;reasons have been proposed in recent years. Rather, previous ones, most 
&lt;br/&gt;notably the Harmonic Convergence or Harmonic Concordance, may be regarded as 
&lt;br/&gt;preparatory for the Oneness Celebration, the Venus transit of June 8, 2004. 
&lt;br/&gt;This will carry the major breakthrough in the development of a new 
&lt;br/&gt;telepathic field on planet Earth, and the co-creation of this is a 
&lt;br/&gt;pre-requisite for attaining the Enlightened state of Oneness by the time the 
&lt;br/&gt;next in this pair of Venus transits occurs on June 6, 2012. For all those 
&lt;br/&gt;wanting to help birth Gaia harmonica, the new harmonious Global Brain, the 
&lt;br/&gt;Oneness Celebration is the time to do it.
&lt;br/&gt;Now, of course, some will say that this field will just emerge regardless of 
&lt;br/&gt;what we do. "Did not the Venus transit in 1518 trigger the first 
&lt;br/&gt;circumnavigation of the Earth without this transit even being known to the 
&lt;br/&gt;world?" some may ask. Well, maybe we should not be so sure that our own 
&lt;br/&gt;participation is irrelevant. After all, what it is all about at the upcomin 
&lt;br/&gt;occasion is the emergence of a mental field that it is we, the human beings, 
&lt;br/&gt;that are the carriers of. It is entirely possible that a conscious 
&lt;br/&gt;participation and awareness is needed this time around. Maybe in fact those 
&lt;br/&gt;that participate fully in such a way as to receive the new light to the 
&lt;br/&gt;right brain half will be the "meek who will inherit the Earth".
&lt;br/&gt;What seems likely is that those that truly want to live in accordance with 
&lt;br/&gt;the harmonizing new field of Gaia harmonica should take the opportunity of 
&lt;br/&gt;absorbing the energy of the Venus transit fully and create such a field 
&lt;br/&gt;amongst themselves. This absorption includes the communication in our own 
&lt;br/&gt;individual brains between the logical left brain and the intuitive right 
&lt;br/&gt;brain, where it is now the latter that will be strengthened. And so, while 
&lt;br/&gt;it is possible that the new field will be there regardless of what we do, it 
&lt;br/&gt;is possible that to get an entrance ticket we need to act as co-creators. 
&lt;br/&gt;Integrating this intuitive field and unifying the mentalities of the brain 
&lt;br/&gt;halves, we may also surmise, are pre-requisites for attaining the 
&lt;br/&gt;Enlightened state in the years ahead. Although there are a few that may 
&lt;br/&gt;already have attained this state as individuals, in the case of the Venus 
&lt;br/&gt;transit we are talking about a major collective push towards that state; 
&lt;br/&gt;Mass Enlightenment.
&lt;br/&gt;Really, what the Oneness Celebration means is a choice, a choice as to 
&lt;br/&gt;whether to continue living as a separate individual or to harmonize your 
&lt;br/&gt;life with the greater whole, the Oneness of Gaia harmonica, which fully 
&lt;br/&gt;experienced is Enlightenment. The upcoming Venus transit will thus present 
&lt;br/&gt;us, individually and collectively, with a very important choice to 
&lt;br/&gt;participate or not to participate. To enter the new field or remain in 
&lt;br/&gt;duality. Telepathy is a meaningless concept if it applies only to a single 
&lt;br/&gt;individual. Only if a significant number of people break through to this new 
&lt;br/&gt;field of communication will any individual, in the full meaning of the word, 
&lt;br/&gt;be able to attain the state of Enlightenment. Thus, there is a need for a 
&lt;br/&gt;collective breakthrough into the new telepathic field of communication.
&lt;br/&gt;There has been some wondering among people why the changes brought about by 
&lt;br/&gt;the Galactic Underworld (which began Jan 5, 1999) have, thus far, seemed so 
&lt;br/&gt;relatively minor. Maybe we have now found the reason - that this is that 
&lt;br/&gt;this Underworld has not yet been activated by a beam of a Venus transit. 
&lt;br/&gt;Both the National and Planetary Underworlds had activating Venus transits in 
&lt;br/&gt;their very first katuns, and one name used for the Mayan Long Count 
&lt;br/&gt;(National Underworld) was in fact the Birth of Venus. In the Galactic 
&lt;br/&gt;Underworld, we have had to wait until the Third Night for this to happen. 
&lt;br/&gt;The Venus transit of June 8, 2004 may be what really activates the new level 
&lt;br/&gt;of consciousness on.
&lt;br/&gt;This overall purpose of the Oneness Celebration of birthing a new field of 
&lt;br/&gt;telepathic communication has consequences for the type of meditation that we 
&lt;br/&gt;should conduct during this occasion. If we are open to letting Gaia develop 
&lt;br/&gt;a new field of telepathic contact, then the focus of the meditation should 
&lt;br/&gt;be to open ourselves up to this. Given that it is the right brain half, in 
&lt;br/&gt;resonance with the Eastern Hemisphere, that primarily will mediate this new 
&lt;br/&gt;field then this fact must be taken into account in shaping your meditation. 
&lt;br/&gt;If we, in a meditative alpha state with eyes closed, visualize Light, Cosmic 
&lt;br/&gt;Intelligence, entering through our right brain, and then let this form an 
&lt;br/&gt;infinite loop including the left brain for a sustained period during the 
&lt;br/&gt;Venus transit, then this would mean that we could enter the new field of 
&lt;br/&gt;telepathic contact. If this happens we will eventually come to live in a 
&lt;br/&gt;completely open and honest world, free of conflicts. This love may be ours 
&lt;br/&gt;if we are open to the harmonizing effects of the new field!
&lt;br/&gt;Certainly, if a world of extended intuitive awareness seems like a welcome 
&lt;br/&gt;possibility to you, we urge you to network this idea and start making 
&lt;br/&gt;presentations on a regular basis to friends and anyone you may be in contact 
&lt;br/&gt;with. There is no money to gain and there is no money to loose, but a new 
&lt;br/&gt;world for us all to win. If there is anything we can be helpful with or have 
&lt;br/&gt;plans for the occasion that you would like to share please contact us at 
&lt;br/&gt;info@onenesscelebration.com.

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Peace n much love, the God in me salutes the God in you!
&lt;br/&gt;Please read this message by Patricia Cori, but most importantly
&lt;br/&gt;act on it and help contribute to the ascension movement.
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;March 20, 2004
&lt;br/&gt;The Anniversary of the Iraq Invasion
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Fellow Lightworkers,
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;As we feel ourselves being stretched to the limit over the events that are occurring in this phase of pre-election media manipulations and the structuring of global conflict – I feel compelled to send out this message: a brief excerpt from the pages of the third book of the Sirian Revelations that you will find below.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is a moment when we must all participate, with clear determination and unshakable tenacity, to alter the current in which we seem to be swimming helplessly against the tide. We are becoming so fearful for the future of humankind that many of us are losing our understanding of how we create it all – all of it – and this we must correct with great haste and a new focus. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are afraid to speak, to listen, to write, to read...We fear going out, staying in, going to work, staying home...We are being entrained that terror is everywhere around us, lurking, waiting to snatch us from whatever false sense of ‘security’ is being forcibly constructed by the power – forgetting that the only place that it will ever exist is WITHIN US.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So many of you write to tell me I am courageous and brave bringing forward the messages of the Council. There is no question of courage here. There is no heroism. There is simply work to be done and this, apparently, was my assignment. Yours is no less important. Each of us, every being on this planet, has a part in this play. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you truly are LightWorking at this pivotal point of earth affairs, then by the GODS – I call upon you to move into the power zone – fearlessness – and collect your thoughts. Raise your voice. Discover your mission and move swiftly, now, into the action zone.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is not enough to ask ‘the Universe’ to rearrange reality – You are the Universe. 
&lt;br/&gt;It is not enough to sit by, watching the others march in the streets, fearing persecution if you dare go there.... you are the other.
&lt;br/&gt;It is not enough to hope ... You are the hope.
&lt;br/&gt;It is not enough to dream of a better tomorrow ...You are the dream.   
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is said that “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.”
&lt;br/&gt;Well, friends, LightWorkers, starseed, warriors:  The going is tough indeed.
&lt;br/&gt;Are you cowering in your fear – silently waiting for something to ‘happen’?
&lt;br/&gt;Someone to speak out?
&lt;br/&gt;A miracle?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Or are you with me?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Your vote matters.
&lt;br/&gt;Your letters, petitions, manifestations … all matter.
&lt;br/&gt;Lightworkers!
&lt;br/&gt;We are called into action.
&lt;br/&gt;Let your voice be heard
&lt;br/&gt;Stand for your beliefs
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now is the time to remember
&lt;br/&gt;What it is you came here to do. 
&lt;br/&gt;Now is the time to remember!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&lt;br/&gt;Excerpt: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;No More Secrets, No More Lies:
&lt;br/&gt;A Handbook to Starseed Awakening 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Personal freedom and the spiritual progression of any civilization are formed from a fundamental understanding of how every thought affects and creates the greater reality – just as the global reality imprints the personal experience. Remember: all aspects, dimensions and realities are merely reflections of the One – the All-That-Is. So are you all; so are we. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So is the darkness; so is the light. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Never, not even for a moment, do you exist in a state of separateness: not at birth, when your spirit takes form by crystallizing soul consciousness as matter; not in death, when you shed your weighty sheath and take wing; not now, as you walk as physical beings in the world of samsara. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We know how you desire to shut out the frightening, unthinkable acts and consequences that are currently raining down terror upon your world. We understand why you prefer not to acknowledge or even contemplate the manifestation of evil, Dear Ones – but your ignoring the dark side of reality is not going to make it go away. Like all suppressed energies, the fear only festers within you, like the most insipid malignancy – growing grotesque and mammoth as it lingers deep in those murky waters of your emotional reservoirs.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The truth is that your journey into the light eventually brings you to look at all the shades of shadow and experience the many layers of density, just as the Buddha explored and experienced human suffering before attaining enlightenment. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These aspects — the dark and malevolent doings taking place just outside of your experience — may not touch you personally, but they touch others and so, by nature of the oneness of all things, they do qualify as your experience. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On levels you may have yet to understand, this is as much your karma as it is of those directly involved, which is why you made the cosmic appointment to take part in the great events unfolding on Planet Earth at this time. And so, we ask you to peer boldly into the dark corners, rather than fear the unknown and the ‘unthinkable’ – for there is no better way to truly heal and move past the shadow. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We encourage you to overcome your blanket denial of what seem to be insurmountable evils, for you can and do affect change and alter reality in every moment of your lives. This you do most effectively when you are operating in the light of conscious awareness.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You must never lose sight of that. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You must never believe you are helpless in the hands of the Power.
&lt;br/&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt;WORLD  DID NOT
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; PURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; AT THE SAME TIME,
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;THE
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; COMPANIES.
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; THEREFORE MAY 19TH HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; "STICK IT UP THEIR
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;behind
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; " DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD NOT
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; BUY A SINGLE DROP OF
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; GASOLINE THAT DAY.
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; THIS E-MAIL TO AS
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;MANY
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; GET THE WORD OUT.
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; WAITING ON THIS ADMINISTRATION TO STEP IN AND
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; CONTROL THE PRICES IS
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;NOT
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; AND CONTROL IN
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;PRICES
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; GASOLINE GOING UP BUT
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;AT
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; PRICES, TRUCKING
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; EFFECTS PRICES ON
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD,
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; CLOTHING, BUILDING
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; MATERIALS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; END? WE DO!
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; WE CAN MAKE A DI FFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T GET THE
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; MESSAGE AFTER ONE
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;DAY,
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; &gt; THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE

      <title>Women Wanting Conscious Prosperity</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/6e54b968-714b-4d3d-a6e6-ab156d965ebc</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi There, 
&lt;br/&gt;I wanted to let you know about a women's prosperity group I am a part of. We are accepting new members and I thought there might be some like minded women on this board. We meet every Monday from 6-7 PST on a conference call, and support each other through email as well. Our intention is to work with each other to clear whatever blocks we have to prosperity, and to create actual tangible financial results in our lives. Our larger goal is to heighten the energy of abundance on our planet, creating prosperity for all. If this is something that resonates with you, send me a message, and we can set up a time to go over the details, and perhaps have you join our call. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Blessings 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Vicki 
&lt;br/&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello Everyone,
&lt;br/&gt; I am new to this tribe as you all mite have guessed from the subject line. Although I was curious if you all lived the code of the jedi or used them simply as a metaphore for internal thinking and discusions. I myself believe in the code they put forth, but then again not all share my view and they are entitled to their opinion even if I do not agree with them.

      <title>"The Cosmic Itching Powder" A theory of evolution, an overview of electropollution, and it's implications on you and I.</title>
      <link>http://jediorder.tribe.net/thread/8f6432f7-b035-48c7-99f3-720db1f5fb8f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;An engaging, poignant, and comprehensive introduction to electropolution.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;(I know this looks long but you really only need to read about half way to get the horror show {Pardon my subjectivity.  In the future I'll keep it to a minimum} )
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(I don't know when this was written)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;------
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE COSMIC ITCHING POWDER
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;David S. Walonick, Ph.D
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Feeling stressed? Maybe a little edgy?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There's a reason... and it might not be what you think.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is a very scary story. If The Invasion of the Body Snatchers
&lt;br/&gt;made you squeamish, then don't continue. Put this down now and
&lt;br/&gt;forget about it. Heed my warning --- this story is so strange
&lt;br/&gt;that it should not be told to the weak at heart. Its about
&lt;br/&gt;science, technology, stress, intolerance, sickness, and the
&lt;br/&gt;invasion of the cosmic itching powder. Fasten your seatbelt.
&lt;br/&gt;You're about to embark upon a voyage into the bizarre. But most
&lt;br/&gt;of all, remember...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's out there right now. Invisible and silent. The cosmic
&lt;br/&gt;itching powder is doing it to you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Science fiction? Unfortunately not.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Most social scientists recognize the stress that humanity is
&lt;br/&gt;experiencing. Only a few have hypothesized that it is being
&lt;br/&gt;caused by the systemic effect of electropollution. This is the
&lt;br/&gt;theory of the cosmic itching powder. I admit that its a somewhat
&lt;br/&gt;untraditional theory. In fact, most people consider it simply too
&lt;br/&gt;fantastic to be possible. It is, however, a theory grounded in
&lt;br/&gt;generally accepted scientific principals, and represents a
&lt;br/&gt;synthesis of many ideas developed by other scholars.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Deep beneath the surface of the Earth is a spinning core of
&lt;br/&gt;molten iron. This rotational energy creates a dipole magnetic
&lt;br/&gt;field around the planet similar to a bar magnetic. Our compass
&lt;br/&gt;registers a north and south pole.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ninety-three million miles away, the sun is emitting lethal
&lt;br/&gt;high-energy atomic particles. These particles, often called the
&lt;br/&gt;solar wind, travel through space and crash into the magnetic
&lt;br/&gt;field of the Earth. The impact creates a strong magnetic field
&lt;br/&gt;distortion. The resulting structure of the Earth's magnetic field
&lt;br/&gt;is known as the magneto-sphere.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Earth's magneto-sphere protects us from the deadly radiation
&lt;br/&gt;emitted by the sun. Without it, life could not exist. On the side
&lt;br/&gt;of the planet closest to the sun, the magnetic field is
&lt;br/&gt;compressed by the impact of the solar particles, and on the side
&lt;br/&gt;away from the sun, the field stretches out into a long tail. The
&lt;br/&gt;result is that most solar radiation is either trapped in the
&lt;br/&gt;Earth's own magnetic field, or diverted harmlessly around and
&lt;br/&gt;away from the Earth.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As the Earth rotates to produce a twenty-four hour day-night
&lt;br/&gt;cycle, the magnetic field at any given location changes (.2 - .6
&lt;br/&gt;gauss). During the day, the magnetic field is compressed, and at
&lt;br/&gt;night, it is diminished. The rise and fall of the magnetic field
&lt;br/&gt;corresponds to our biological rhythms.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Observing our own circadian rhythms makes it clear that we are
&lt;br/&gt;somehow synchronized with the rotation of the Earth. In fact, it
&lt;br/&gt;may be possible that life itself evolved as a result of Earth's
&lt;br/&gt;fluctuating magnetic energy field. Complex organic molecules can
&lt;br/&gt;exist in two mirror-image forms... a left-hand and right-hand
&lt;br/&gt;molecule. When we create these compounds in a test tube, we
&lt;br/&gt;always get a fifty-fifty mix. All living organisms, however,
&lt;br/&gt;contain only one kind. Recent magnetic techniques have
&lt;br/&gt;successfully produced all left or all right-handed molecules. It
&lt;br/&gt;may be that magnetism played a role in the creation of the first
&lt;br/&gt;DNA... the origin of life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In addition to the twenty-four hour cycle, there are several
&lt;br/&gt;other weaker magnetic cycles. As the solar wind crashes into
&lt;br/&gt;Earth's magnetic field, billions of watts of energy are released
&lt;br/&gt;in the form of ionizing radiation and other electromagnetic
&lt;br/&gt;radiation. Some of the radiation becomes trapped in the Earth's
&lt;br/&gt;magnetic field, and begins to bounce back and forth between the
&lt;br/&gt;magnetic North and South poles. These extremely weak magnetic
&lt;br/&gt;ducts make up the background radiation of the Earth. This
&lt;br/&gt;radiation is always present, and roughly corresponds to the
&lt;br/&gt;dimensions of our planet. The Earth itself is resonant at about
&lt;br/&gt;ten hertz, and this is the prominent frequency in the natural
&lt;br/&gt;background radiation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Prior to the twentieth century, all electromagnetic radiation was
&lt;br/&gt;of natural origin. The biosphere was an ocean of weak
&lt;br/&gt;micropulsations. Organic life evolved in harmony and
&lt;br/&gt;synchronization with the energy fields that existed. They
&lt;br/&gt;provided the pulse for the evolution of life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For thousands of years, we developed in the presence of these
&lt;br/&gt;organic energy fields. The Earth was a part of us, and we were
&lt;br/&gt;able to feel its heartbeat. Our bodies and minds were
&lt;br/&gt;synchronized with the energy cycles of our natural environment.
&lt;br/&gt;The entire biological organism evolved in the presence of these
&lt;br/&gt;fields. Gravitational changes from the moon created a
&lt;br/&gt;twenty-eight day lunar cycle. Magnetic changes from the rotation
&lt;br/&gt;of the Earth created a twenty-four hour circadian cycle. Our
&lt;br/&gt;brains became synchronized with the resonant frequency of the
&lt;br/&gt;Earth itself, a ten hertz magnetic wave created from the energy
&lt;br/&gt;from the sun. This alpha brain-wave frequency is associated with
&lt;br/&gt;feelings of relaxation, peacefulness and harmony.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We remained in communion with our environment until the beginning
&lt;br/&gt;of the twentieth century. As the "Electronic Revolution"
&lt;br/&gt;unfolded, the environment was bombarded by cosmic itching powder
&lt;br/&gt;--- non-natural electromagnetic radiation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sixty hertz power transmission lines criss-crossed the country,
&lt;br/&gt;and radio waves were beaming music into our homes. For the first
&lt;br/&gt;time in history, man-made emissions overpowered the low-level ten
&lt;br/&gt;hertz wave that had synchronized our brains since the dawn of
&lt;br/&gt;time. We gradually became lost... out of touch with our
&lt;br/&gt;environment. It was difficult to notice at first, and it didn't
&lt;br/&gt;happen suddenly.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We can't blame the government for what happened next. There is no
&lt;br/&gt;way the Federal Communications Commission could have known about
&lt;br/&gt;the deadly effects of the frequencies they assigned to the new FM
&lt;br/&gt;radio and television technology. Radio and television stations
&lt;br/&gt;sprang up across the country in metropolitan areas.
&lt;br/&gt;Unfortunately, the peak resonant frequency of the human body is
&lt;br/&gt;in the middle of the FM radio and television bands. Cancer became
&lt;br/&gt;a common disease.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Electropollution is out there. No scientific investigator would
&lt;br/&gt;deny this fact. Its measurable and quantifiable. The question is
&lt;br/&gt;how, and to what extent, does it affect us.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The most significant effect of electropollution has been to
&lt;br/&gt;produce chronic stress in all living organisms. This has had
&lt;br/&gt;profound effects on our total physical and mental well-being.
&lt;br/&gt;Physically, our immune systems are weakened and we are more prone
&lt;br/&gt;to disease. We have seen significant drops in fertility levels,
&lt;br/&gt;and increases in birth defects and impaired brain functioning.
&lt;br/&gt;Mentally, we are in a constant state of stress. Our rationality,
&lt;br/&gt;as a species, is in question. Humanity is stressed out.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Stress is a catalyst for intolerance, one of the most important
&lt;br/&gt;social issues facing the world. Intolerance often leads to
&lt;br/&gt;violence. We will always have ethnic, religious, and
&lt;br/&gt;philosophical differences. If we can learn to tolerate each
&lt;br/&gt;others differences, we may survive as a planet. If we don't, we
&lt;br/&gt;shall surely destroy ourselves.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The notion of an invisible energy force affecting us is not as
&lt;br/&gt;strange as it might first seem. Millions of women report similar
&lt;br/&gt;PMS symptoms during their twenty-eight day lunar cycle.
&lt;br/&gt;Electropollution acts like an itching powder, directly affecting
&lt;br/&gt;our subconscious mind... below our level of perception. It just
&lt;br/&gt;makes us edgy. Everyone is affected to some degree, but some
&lt;br/&gt;individuals appear to be more sensitive than others.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Electropollution levels in technologically advanced areas have
&lt;br/&gt;become so intense that they completely overpower the natural
&lt;br/&gt;background energy of the Earth. The result is that humanity has
&lt;br/&gt;lost its communion with the Earth. We have lost our feeling of
&lt;br/&gt;oneness with the planet, and we have allowed the poisons in our
&lt;br/&gt;environment to reach critical levels.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;During the first half of this century, it became clear that
&lt;br/&gt;biological organisms are indeed physically sensitive to some
&lt;br/&gt;forms of electromagnetic radiation. Symptoms included burns,
&lt;br/&gt;fevers, eye cataracts, brain tumors, leukemias and chromosomal
&lt;br/&gt;abnormalities. The military established safety limits based on
&lt;br/&gt;the thermal heating effects of radiation (i.e., burns and
&lt;br/&gt;fevers). Other non-thermal effects were ignored, even though
&lt;br/&gt;their existence was well documented. In 1966, the American
&lt;br/&gt;National Standards Institute (ANSI) adopted the military
&lt;br/&gt;standards for civilian exposure in the workplace.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These standards were brought into question by the scientific
&lt;br/&gt;community almost immediately. In the early 70's, the Oregon
&lt;br/&gt;Health Sciences University, in conjunction with the Environmental
&lt;br/&gt;Protection Agency, found a significant correlation between the
&lt;br/&gt;incidence of leukemia in Portland and the intensity of FM radio
&lt;br/&gt;waves. The EPA took no action, but throughout the 70's,
&lt;br/&gt;scientists around the world reported finding significant
&lt;br/&gt;biological effects from very low levels of electromagnetic
&lt;br/&gt;radiation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;By 1980, the military and civilian standards were being
&lt;br/&gt;challenged. In order to quell the rising controversy, the U.S.
&lt;br/&gt;Air Force funded an expensive animal study to prove that chronic
&lt;br/&gt;exposure to low levels of electromagnetic radiation were not
&lt;br/&gt;dangerous. The laboratory rats were "gnotobiotic" animals,
&lt;br/&gt;delivered by cesarean section, and raised in a sterile
&lt;br/&gt;environment to be free from germs and viruses. The radiation
&lt;br/&gt;levels in the experiment were twenty times less than the military
&lt;br/&gt;and civilian safety standards. It was a shock to the entire
&lt;br/&gt;scientific community when the experimental group developed over
&lt;br/&gt;three times as many malignant tumors as the control group.
&lt;br/&gt;Electromagnetic radiation (the kind that you're being exposed to
&lt;br/&gt;right now), can cause or trigger cancer.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In 1986, the Department of Public Health in Honolulu learned that
&lt;br/&gt;cancer rates were higher in nearly every area where a broadcast
&lt;br/&gt;tower was located. No action was taken by the State of Hawaii.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;By 1988, researchers at the University of Texas had found that
&lt;br/&gt;electric-power company workers had an incidence of brain tumors
&lt;br/&gt;thirteen times that of the normal population. The tumors were
&lt;br/&gt;specifically linked to the sixty hertz fields that the workers
&lt;br/&gt;were exposed to. This is the same sixty hertz field that emanates
&lt;br/&gt;from the power lines around the country. In 1991, two Swedish
&lt;br/&gt;studies and one U.S. study again confirmed the link to cancer.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Over the past thirty years, many thousands of well-designed
&lt;br/&gt;research studies and replications have conclusively proved that
&lt;br/&gt;low levels of electromagnetic radiation have strong biological
&lt;br/&gt;effects on humans. The two most prominent effects are increases
&lt;br/&gt;in stress and cancers. We have also been able to identify changes
&lt;br/&gt;in brain neurochemicals and genetic abnormalities.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It turns out that all these effects are caused only by extremely
&lt;br/&gt;low frequency radiation. The ELF frequencies occupy a very narrow
&lt;br/&gt;portion at the bottom of the electromagnetic spectrum (0-100
&lt;br/&gt;hertz). These are the frequencies that the Earth uses to
&lt;br/&gt;communicate with her offspring. With the exception of lightning,
&lt;br/&gt;all natural electromagnetic emissions from the Earth are in the
&lt;br/&gt;ELF portion of the spectrum.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Human beings are receivers and transmitters of energy. Our cells
&lt;br/&gt;show the same crystalline properties of the earth we evolved
&lt;br/&gt;from. Crystals have the ability to manipulate energy. They can
&lt;br/&gt;convert, store, rectify and control energy. All living organisms
&lt;br/&gt;exhibit these same properties at macro and micro levels. In 1992,
&lt;br/&gt;scientists discovered microscopic magnetite crystals scattered
&lt;br/&gt;throught the human brain. This magnetic substance was the missing
&lt;br/&gt;link. It provided a possible answer as to how this communication
&lt;br/&gt;could be possible. Recent studies suggest a mechanism of action
&lt;br/&gt;involving cyclotron resonance where the magnetic energy field
&lt;br/&gt;concentrates its effect on biologically important ions, such as
&lt;br/&gt;sodium, calcium, potassium, and lithium.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Are non-ELF frequencies safe? No. It turns out that, regardless
&lt;br/&gt;of their frequencies, all man-made electromagnetic fields produce
&lt;br/&gt;the same biological effects. Radio waves and microwaves of all
&lt;br/&gt;frequencies are carriers of ELF signals. The ELF's modulate the
&lt;br/&gt;radio signals and "ride" them around the planet. The magnetite
&lt;br/&gt;crystals in the brain sense the changing electromagnetic energy
&lt;br/&gt;field, and through some yet unknown mechanism, the brain
&lt;br/&gt;demodulates the signal and responds to it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The loud jungle of non-natural electropollution makes the signals
&lt;br/&gt;of the Earth and cosmos pale in comparison. We have literally
&lt;br/&gt;been cut off from our natural environment by the overpowering
&lt;br/&gt;bombardment of electromagnetic pollution. Non-natural
&lt;br/&gt;electromagnetic energy is everywhere on the planet. It is
&lt;br/&gt;generated by our technology. There's no place you can go to
&lt;br/&gt;escape from it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is not enough to simply identify societal problems. A good
&lt;br/&gt;theory must be able to provide solutions, or at least directions
&lt;br/&gt;for further study. The theory of the cosmic itching powder is no
&lt;br/&gt;exception.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Human sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation is a
&lt;br/&gt;well-documented fact. However, social policy makers will not
&lt;br/&gt;address the issue unless public pressure is applied.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal
&lt;br/&gt;Communications Commission must join forces to re-evaluate the
&lt;br/&gt;current civilian exposure limits. New standards need to be
&lt;br/&gt;implemented that reflect current scientific knowledge. The
&lt;br/&gt;Surgeon General should issue a general health warning to the
&lt;br/&gt;public. These things will not happen, however, until the public
&lt;br/&gt;perceives the seriousness of the problem. The need for public
&lt;br/&gt;education is obvious.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The scientific community must initiate a full scale effort to
&lt;br/&gt;educate the public regarding this public health risk. The most
&lt;br/&gt;immediate need is to disseminate information on "practical
&lt;br/&gt;prudent avoidance techniques". These techniques involve taking
&lt;br/&gt;measures to avoid magnetic field exposure that entail little or
&lt;br/&gt;no cost. In other words, finding simple ways to reduce the dose
&lt;br/&gt;of radiation that we are exposed to.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Several steps can be taken to minimize ones risk from
&lt;br/&gt;electromagnetic energy. The goal is to reduce the total dose of
&lt;br/&gt;radiation that we are exposed to. This involves minimizing both
&lt;br/&gt;the duration and levels of the exposure. The appendix contains a
&lt;br/&gt;list of practical prudent avoidance techniques that the reader
&lt;br/&gt;can implement for their own personal safety.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The technology for long term solutions to this problem is
&lt;br/&gt;available now. It will not be implemented without intense public
&lt;br/&gt;pressure. Major corporate and military entities control the power
&lt;br/&gt;switch.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1. Use cable and direct satellite broadcasts to replace existing
&lt;br/&gt;radio and television transmitting towers. These towers produce
&lt;br/&gt;very strong energy fields for distances up to a half mile. Most
&lt;br/&gt;could be readily converted to cable or satellite. Satellite
&lt;br/&gt;repeaters cover wide geographic areas and produce very low energy
&lt;br/&gt;power levels on the ground. They can provide a relatively safe
&lt;br/&gt;public communications system. Shorter term solutions involve
&lt;br/&gt;restricting transmitter power levels and possible blackout times.
&lt;br/&gt;The goal is to reduce the total ambient radiation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2. Convert the basic structure of the entire national power
&lt;br/&gt;system. The production and distribution of energy is in the hands
&lt;br/&gt;of powerful corporate entities. They will not willingly release
&lt;br/&gt;their monopolistic concerns. Photovoltic, wind, and other
&lt;br/&gt;renewable energy sources can be used to replace our nationwide
&lt;br/&gt;transmission power grid. This dispersed type of energy generation
&lt;br/&gt;structure will reduce (or eliminate) the need for high-voltage
&lt;br/&gt;long-distance transmission power lines. The cost of the
&lt;br/&gt;technology to accomplish this conversion is currently competitive
&lt;br/&gt;with public utility rates.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Nearly everyone agrees that our society is stressed. The systemic
&lt;br/&gt;effect of electropollution directly affects our feeling of
&lt;br/&gt;well-being. We can reduce our stress level by reducing our
&lt;br/&gt;exposure to electromagnetic radiation. The next time that you
&lt;br/&gt;drive out of the city, notice what happens to your stress level
&lt;br/&gt;as you get further away from the high intensity radiation of the
&lt;br/&gt;metropolitan area.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Unfortunately, there's an even darker side to this theory.
&lt;br/&gt;Electropollution is destroying society as we know it. It may be
&lt;br/&gt;producing either evolutionary changes or extinction of the human
&lt;br/&gt;species.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hays examined the magnetic field reversals of our planet's
&lt;br/&gt;history and found that many species became extinct following
&lt;br/&gt;these magnetic anomalies. The great "die-outs" were somehow
&lt;br/&gt;linked to the disruption of the magnetic fields that existed
&lt;br/&gt;during the evolution of the species. The dinosaurs were part of
&lt;br/&gt;the last great extinction during the Cretaceous geological era.
&lt;br/&gt;During each magnetic field reversal, the most advanced species
&lt;br/&gt;were the most affected.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Scientists have proposed two possible explanations. One is that
&lt;br/&gt;magnetic field reversals were accompanied by changes in the
&lt;br/&gt;Earth's ELF background radiation, thus causing modifications in
&lt;br/&gt;behavior that reduced the survival efficiency of the more
&lt;br/&gt;advanced species. The other is that the magnetic changes caused
&lt;br/&gt;genetic alterations, resulting in defective offspring. Both
&lt;br/&gt;theories may be correct.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The natural geological magnetic field reversals of the past are
&lt;br/&gt;dwarfed by the electropollution created by modern society. We
&lt;br/&gt;cannot afford to neglect this problem any longer, for if we do,
&lt;br/&gt;humanity may follow the footsteps of the dinosaurs.

&lt;br/&gt;Appendix
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Electromagnetic Radiation Practical Prudent Avoidance Techniques
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Many studies have found that even short exposures to field
&lt;br/&gt;strengths of 3-milligauss will produce biological effects.
&lt;br/&gt;Leading researchers suggest that continuous exposure to a sixty
&lt;br/&gt;hertz power levels should not exceed energy levels of
&lt;br/&gt;1-milligauss. All of the following "practical prudent avoidance
&lt;br/&gt;techniques" will result in exposure levels that meet this
&lt;br/&gt;requirement.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1. The use of electric blankets should be discontinued because of
&lt;br/&gt;the high magnetic field strengths and the length of exposure.
&lt;br/&gt;Electric razors, hair dryers, and curling irons also produce
&lt;br/&gt;high-strength magnetic fields, and although the exposure is of
&lt;br/&gt;much shorter duration, their use should be discouraged.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2. Position yourself at least four feet away from the television.
&lt;br/&gt;Many people are already taking this precaution after having heard
&lt;br/&gt;about the ionizing radiation being emitted from the television
&lt;br/&gt;screen. This radiation described in this paper is different, and
&lt;br/&gt;is being produced by the electronics within the set itself.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;3. Maintain a distance of two and a half feet from your computer
&lt;br/&gt;video-display terminal. Models built before 1982 give off
&lt;br/&gt;substantially higher levels of radiation and should no longer be
&lt;br/&gt;used. If possible, install an ELF filter on the video monitor.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4. Avoid long exposures to fluorescent lights. Maintain a
&lt;br/&gt;distance of three to four feet from overhead fluorescent light
&lt;br/&gt;fixtures. Stop using floor and desk lamps that contain
&lt;br/&gt;fluorescent bulbs.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;5. If your home utilizes electric baseboard heaters, position
&lt;br/&gt;your furniture and bed at least three feet away. Use the same
&lt;br/&gt;precaution for small electric space heaters.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;6. Do not use hand-held cellular phones, portable phones,
&lt;br/&gt;walki-talkies, or any other hand held transmitting devices. The
&lt;br/&gt;problem is that the power radiated from the antenna is very close
&lt;br/&gt;to the brain. If you must use any of these devices, limit your
&lt;br/&gt;exposure to the minimum duration possible. Car phones that have
&lt;br/&gt;an external antenna are usually okay because the occupants are
&lt;br/&gt;shielded by the metal of the car.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;7. Avoid prolonged exposure to all plug-in type electric motors.
&lt;br/&gt;These produce extraordinarily high magnetic fields for several
&lt;br/&gt;feet. Bedside electric clocks should be removed since they emit
&lt;br/&gt;strong magnetic fields near your brain while you sleep. (Digital
&lt;br/&gt;or battery operated clocks are not dangerous.) Run dishwashers
&lt;br/&gt;only when you are not in the kitchen.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;8. Turn all electric appliances "off" when not in use.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;9. If you live near a radio or television transmitting tower, or
&lt;br/&gt;near a high-voltage power line... move. Unfortunately, there is
&lt;br/&gt;no cost-effective shielding for the strong electromagnetic fields
&lt;br/&gt;emanating from these sources.&lt;/div&gt;
